News around the Lakers has been dominated by potential trades, whether for Kyrie Irving or Myles Turner and Buddy Hield. Tuesday, the rumor mill was quiet, giving everyone a break. At least for a day. And we learned the Lakers made a low key important move, as ESPN's Marc Spears reported a contract extension for assistant coach Phil Handy. As one of the most respected assistants in the game, with a strong background in player development, the franchise (and new head coach Darvin Ham) need his skill set in a big way. A contract extension may not keep him here forever - there is always chatter Handy could end up a head coach - but it helps. Handy's ability as a communicator becomes important as Ham moves to a different role than he has traditionally played. Darvin won't stop talking with players, and won't stop dealing with them straight, but there's a difference between being head coach and an assistant when it comes to the freedom players often feel to talk about issues they might have. Having Phil Handy around fills that space in a high end way. Meanwhile, one guy who won't be on the staff? Rasheed Wallace, apparently. Despite a summer of rumors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports the Lakers won't be adding him to Ham's coaching group. From there, we learned more about Ham when he was a guest on the All the Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Great insight into Ham's attention to detail when it comes to people and culture. And more context into why he views this job as a challenge, and feels confident the pressure won't beat him down. He knows it's there, obviously, but doesn't seem likely to be ruled by it. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Phil Handy gets an extension. SEGMENT 2: Why Phil matters, especially given Ham's shift from lead assistant to head man. SEGMENT 3: More evidence Ham has the mental makeup to do this job well.

In the dog days of the NBA offseason, after the draft and free agency, it becomes difficult to come up with topics to fill the countless hours until the start of the next season. So why not? Let's talk about whether Keegan Murray can win the Rookie of the Year award this upcoming season. Marc Spears brought up this possibility, and he may not be crazy. If Mike Brown and the Kings can figure out the right lineup combinations to put the team in position to succeed, there is a very good chance Murray could be the favorite to win the award. While Brown has not been delivered the most ideal lemons to make the best lemonade, his reputation for crafting some of the best defenses in the league would lead me to believe he can get really creative in making the most out of the talent he going to work with. In news around the NBA, mostly focusing on the Lakers, I tackle why there isn't a lot of love for the Lonnie Walker signing, and the news of the Lakers trying to trade Russell Westbrook for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner. The fact that the Westbrook saga all could've been avoided had they just traded for Hield in the first place makes this all the more ironic and extremely funny. Now this situation has finally come full circle. And to end the episode, I talk about the announcement by Vince Mcmahon that he is "retiring." And if you read that correctly, you'll have a great idea of how I feel about the announcement.

Darvin Ham is bringing a much different energy to El Segundo this season, and anyone who wants a good understanding of what it means should read the Q/A done by ESPN's Marc Spears. In it, Ham talks about his upbringing, the grind required to make the league, and then to stay there. And then to put himself on the path to being an NBA head coach, which required a long stint in the G-League. He talks about Russell Westbrook, and his expectations for him this season, which include starting (which will, surely, disappoint Lakers fans hoping to see Westbrook come off the bench). Ham talked about Anthony Davis as the key to making the Lakers go, and that the team will support him in every way possible to make it happen. And he talked about the experience he had working with Milwaukee head coach Mike Budenholzer, calling the work he does the gold standard around the league. Put it all together, and his conversation with Spears can only leave a strong impression for fans and players about the man himself. It's far too early to know if Darvin Ham the coach will succeed in Los Angeles, but it's pretty clear that Darvin Ham the human being is about as solid as they come. In that sense, the Lakers have done well. And for a team that has a lot of Ham-esque players on the roster - guys who for one reason or another have found themselves in the discard pile - Ham seems like a perfect guy to help maximize their potential. He certainly is invested not just in the stars, but the role players as well. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Darvin Ham says Russell Westbrook will start. What that says about Ham's approach to Westbrook, and why it's a smart play at this point. SEGMENT 2: Why Anthony Davis is the key to this year's Lakers. SEGMENT 3: Ham on the coaches that have influenced him, maximizing role players and more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! TrueBill Don't fall for subscription scams.
