The Lakers soap opera this season has been the headline maker in the NBA this season. Another big news has appeared from the Lakers camp as their assistant coach liked a controversial post surrounding LeBron James.

The Lakers are 27-33 this season so far and have lost 7 in their past 10 games. Things don’t look good for the Lakers as they fight for the play-in spots. King James has been in phenomenal form this season, but winning his fifth championship looks tough.

In an eventful turn of events, Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy, has liked a post on social media criticizing LeBron James and the Lakers. This could be huge, as there’s already a huge rift in the Lakers camp with James and Rob Pelinka differences.

Phil Handy likes post mentioning LeBron James’ Lakers disrespecting the game

Kendrick Perkins recently tweeted that the Lakers are ‘disrespecting the game of basketball’. Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy liked that post, sparking rift in the Lakers camp.

This is not the first time Phil Handy has been involved in something like this. Earlier this year, Phil had engaged in a heated discussion with LeBron James when Lakers played Minnesota Timberwolves in early January. It was a tense game throughout and as the team was heading into the dressing room, James and Phil has a heated exchange between them.

Not just Phil, almost every Lakers player, and staff are frustrated with the team’s performances this season. Earlier this season, there were rumors of the coaching staff facing the sack. However, that didn’t happen, and Vogel and co. continue to be on the sidelines. But if the Lakers continue to struggle, the purple and gold management may consider a change in the coaching department.
