LeBron James and Los Angeles looked lost again on Thursday night, dropping to 19-20, the 10th seed in the Western Conference.

James recorded only 10 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in just 25 minutes of game time.

The Suns, led by Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, tallied 86 points between the three of them.

Guards Beal and Booker guided Phoenix’s win with 37 and 31 points, respectively.

With rumors swirling around Ham’s future on the Lakers, the home loss only intensified the chatter.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Bayless shared his view on LeBron and Ham’s relationship.

“Games like this make you think LeBron is going to get Darvin Ham fired,” Bayless wrote.

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal suggested the four-time NBA champion and teammate Anthony Davis don’t respect their head coach either.

“What I know for a fact, in the locker room, resume is important,” O’Neal said on an episode of his podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq.

“You mean to tell me LeBron’s gonna listen to Darvin Ham in the thick of things?

“I know the answer to that. I’ll let you figure it out. You think A.D. is gonna listen to Darvin Ham?

“You know all the other guys may listen to Darvin. That’s no disrespect to Darvin Ham, but no championship experience, no playoff experience.

“So, you know, if I’m a guy that been there, been to the title run a lot, why would I listen to a guy that hasn’t been there?”

The Lakers next play the 19-20 Utah Jazz on Saturday, January 13.
