Warriors Lose Out on High-Profile Assistant Coach
For years, the Golden State Warriors were known for their strong on and off-court culture that attracted top talent. However, as their core players age and the team faces internal challenges, the Warriors are no longer the sought-after destination they once were. This could pose problems for the team in free agency, as evidenced by their recent failure to secure high-profile assistant coach Darvin Ham.
Ham, who was recently let go by the Los Angeles Lakers, was expected to be a hot commodity in the coaching market. Despite a successful tenure with the Lakers, including a Western Conference Finals appearance, Ham ultimately decided to join Doc Rivers’ staff in Milwaukee instead of considering an offer from the Warriors.
This move highlights a shift in the perception of the Warriors as a championship-caliber team, as they now struggle to attract top coaching talent. With the possibility of losing another key assistant coach, the Warriors face challenges in maintaining their competitive edge in the NBA.
