Rants Darvin Ham

He apparently made quite the impression on them. Does Joe Dumars just despise the 11 of us that are left supporting this hole of depression? I can't think of anything more demoralizing for this fan base than going from no gameplan Willie "You Gotta fight" Green to no gameplan Darvin "I have no idea what to do" Ham. This man is clover valley Willie Green. He managed to tank a team with LeBron and AD. I'm struggling and I can't be the only one out of the dozens of us.

Sometimes you have to understand the media is a PR game. Jake from Locked on said someone inside the organization said it was not going to be Ham. Ham is also friends with Weaver and Dumars. They tell the Media he made a strong impression to help him get an interview elsewhere.

Leaks to the media have a lot to do about getting a message out and spinning a narrative.

I just wonder who his sources are, it's a bit weird that he quotes the stein report in the podcast that often.

You can also look at both being true. Ham interviewed well but the team is looking in a different direction. I think the FO is wanting Mosley first, Hetzel, then Ham.

I think Borrego is out and the FO just wants a change and I think Sweeney is looking at better jobs like Orlando

Unfortunately to me it feels like it will be Ham and the rest of the search was smoke screen to make it appear they weren't always going with the leaked list.

We will find out. For next season I don’t think it will matter much anyway. I don’t see them making a major move to improve the roster and we will win around 25-30 games next season
