Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen someone begins his NBA coaching career at the G League level and goes all the way through playing an integral role on the front bench of an NBA Championship team, it really speaks to a certain strength of character. Our players and fans will immediately identify with Darvin\u2019s no-nonsense and hard-working approach, which we feel will bring toughness and a competitive edge to all we do,\u201d said Pelinka. \u201cWhen you add that to Darvin\u2019s sophisticated grasp of in-game strategy and deep knowledge of the game of basketball, we have the ideal coach for this next chapter in Lakers history. We could not be more honored and proud to name Darvin Ham as our new head coach.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ham, 48, will be the 28th head coach in franchise history
