More on this storyline
Kyle Goon: Darvin Ham says of the future of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook: It starts out on the defensive end and builds out there. He thinks all three will benefit from increased spacing. Says he sees Westbrook as “absolutely” a key part of the future. -via Twitter @kylegoon / June 6, 2022
Kyle Goon: Ham says he and Westbrook (who again is standing in this gym) have had great one-on-one conversations. He says the word that’s come up a lot is “sacrifice.” He says he’s gonna expect him to be tenacious, but perhaps more without the ball and on the defensive end. -via Twitter @kylegoon / June 6, 2022
Ryan Ward: Darvin Ham on returning to the Lakers: “This place will always be special to me. … It’s like a homecoming for me in all seriousness.” -via Twitter @RyanWardLA / June 6, 2022
