According to sources, Darvin Ham told David Fizdale, Mike Penberty and John Lucas III on Tuesday that they won't be retained.
According to sources, Ham will take over the reigns from Frank Vogel's staff.
When asked about filling out his bench, Ham said he liked coaches who roll up their sleeves.
We did everything we could. Player development was done by us. We looked at things. I had to take over as the head coach a few times. It was a group of people. It wasn't the same on both sides. All of us contributed to our basketball team's success. I want to build that kind of staff.
When Ham got his start as an NBA assistant coach in L.A., he was hired by the Lakers as a player development coach. He was an assistant coach on championship teams in Cleveland and Toronto before returning to L.A. and becoming an assistant coach.
Crawford played college basketball at the University of Arizona and was hired by the Lakers in 2019. He worked as a video assistant for the Hornets. His father was a security guard for the Lakers for a while.
