🚨BREAKING: The Los Angeles #Lakers have fired head coach #DarvinHam after two seasons.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Lakers will have an "extensive" search for a new head coach and that Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson, #JJRedick and possibly #TyLue will be candidates.

Ham was 90-74 with a Western Conference Finals berth, two Play-In victories and an In-Season title.

So Z Nation, Did the Lakers make the right move by firing Ham? And what top coaching candidate should the Lakers hire as the next head coach???

#LakersMediaDay BREAKDOWN | #Lakers Winning Mentality | Lakers #TrainingCamp Expectations

The vibes were light, loose and confident for LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers at 2023-24 Media Day.

The Lakers are proceeding one day at a time, but they'll at least open training camp as an inarguable championship contender, armed with versatile, culture-fitting players either locked into contracts or playing for new ones. The roster is fully-healthy, balanced, and cohesive around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The coaching staff is respected.

#Lakers' #DepthChart, Rotation After 2023 NBA Free Agency

The Los Angeles Lakers might still have a move in them during the 2023 NBA offseason, but they have largely assembled what they hope will be a championship roster.

They eschewed more flashy pursuits to focus instead on building continuity and depth. While they overhauled a big chunk of their supporting cast, they also kept most of the primary contributors to their recent Western Conference finals run.

They'll head into #TrainingCamp with a few position battles worth watching, but as things stand, we have a decent idea of how coach Darvin Ham will handle the depth chart during the 2023-24 campaign.

Point guard: D'Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood-Schifino

Shooting guard: Austin Reaves, Max Christie

Small forward: Rui Hacimura, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, Maxwell Lewis

Power forward: LeBron James, Jarred Vanderbilt

Center: Anthony Davis, Jaxson Hayes

So Z Nation, what do you think about the Lakers depth chart and rotation ideas heading into next season???

#Lakers 2023 #NBADraft Class Results | NBA Draft 2023

The Los Angeles Lakers prioritized the future in the 2023 NBA Draft, opting to select two players — Jalen Hood-Schifino (no. 17) and Maxwell Lewis (no. 40) — instead of trading up, down, or for a win-now piece.

“I think the end goal, we talk about it all the time, is for us to put a championship-level product on the court,” said Rob Pelinka after the draft. “Sometimes you can’t make all of your moves in one fell swoop. But we’re really excited about the way the draft panned out. Just the value we were able to acquire with the two players.”

The Lakers have since signed three undrafted free agents, which should not be overlooked considering the successes of Austin Reaves and Alex Caruso.

Summer League begins on July 3.

Jalen Hood-Schifino (No. 17 Overall Pick)

The Lakers, like many draft prognosticators, including ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel, had the former Indiana guard ranked in the mid-teens. Pelinka called Hood-Schifino a “lottery-level” talent with “Lakers DNA.”

Basketball-wise, Hood-Schifino hypothetically fills various needs. On defense, he projects as a switchable, two-way wing with above-average size (6'6, 6'10 wingspan, 215 pounds).

“He comes with such a great physical package and profile to be a great defender,” Pelinka said. “He’s got all the skills with the length to disrupt passing lanes, disrupt shots.”

“I would just say I’m an all-around player,” Hood-Schifino assessed. “I check a lot of boxes. Obviously, a big guard. I feel like I can score from all three levels. Really unselfish. Floor general.”

Pelinka envisions a perimeter pairing of Reaves and Hood-Schifino, which would supply IQ, crafty movement (ideal around LeBron James), and two-way versatility.

“Fino” grew up a Lakers fan and has a Kobe Bryant tattoo on his arm. The Lakers were the first team he worked out for, and seemed to be his preferred destination.

“It’s honestly really crazy and kind of hard to say how I feel because growing up I was a big Kobe fan. I was always watching his videos, watching the Lakers. For me to get drafted by the Lakers is kind of surreal and kind of crazy.”

Maxwell Lewis (No. 40 overall pick)

The Lakers sent the Indiana Pacers over $4 million to move up seven spots in the second round, ultimately resulting in the selection of the Pepperdine swingman.

Lewis is another rangy wing with good size (6'7, 7'0 wingspan). Unlike Jalen, the 21-year-old is an elite athlete with a more developed shot (35.4% from 3 for the Waves). At the very least, he should be able to knock down open looks off the catch right away.

His game needs polishing, especially in the areas of ball-handling, passing, and defensive awareness. For a second-round pick, though, the upside and value are obvious. So Z Nation, what do you expect from this Lakers draft class this upcoming season???

Lakers NBA Draft Prospects 2023 | Jordan Hawkins Lakers | NBA Draft 2023

The Lakers don’t need much ammo to do damage in the NBA draft, which makes the prospect of them having two draft picks, including the No. 17 overall pick, an encouraging one. On top of having a pick in the middle of the first round, the Lakers will also have a mid-second round pick to do damage with as well.

While there’s the potential of them making a trade with either of those picks to find win-now talent, the Lakers have been more than willing to draft players and develop them as well. And with a first round pick as high as the one they have, they could find a player that could legitimately help them next season.

The No. 47 is also in range of where the Lakers have previously found talent. Talen Horton-Tucker (No. 46), Svi Mykhailiuk (No. 47), and Ryan Kelly (No. 48) were all picked at or around that pick in recent drafts.

Jordan Hawkins — UConn guard Jordan Hawkins is an excellent spot-up shooter and a good passer. He averaged 16.2 points per game for the Huskies in his sophomore season and shot 38.8% from deep. Putting the 6-foot-4 guard in the corner on offense should free up space for LeBron and AD to operate in the offense.

Hawkins isn’t a lockdown defender, but he is a smart one who is solid off the ball and will help improve the Lakers' overall team defense. He also gets steals by jumping passing lanes and hustling after loose balls, which often lead to easy transition baskets.

Jordan Hawkins also just turned 21, so he’s a little older than some of the other Lakers options in this year’s NBA draft. That means he should be more ready to come in and contribute right away than some of the younger prospects.

The Lakers so far have interviewed and worked out a lot of draft prospects in this years draft that may land to them such as…

Kobe Bufkin — Michigan (Interview)
Tyger Campbell — UCLA (Workout)
Marcus Carr — Texas (Workout)
Kihei Clark — Virginia (Workout)

So Z Nation, who do you think the Lakers should draft with 17th & 47th???
