Darvin Ham's situation is quite similar to the temporary coach of the Boston Celtics, but the latter is much more difficult because he need to duplicate Ime Udoka's performance or better than that while Darvin Ham's situation is how to get these team full of point guard to work as one while thinking not to overload AD's shoulder so that he could play much longer. There's a chance but coach Ham need to find that key.
I view it the other way around. I see Ham has the more difficult job against Joe Mazzulla. The Celtics is already established and there is not much of changes. He was with them for 3 years thus the players and asst coaches know him. He is already familiar with the plays of Udoka as well. Unless he wants to change and move away from the plays of Udoka, he will have a very comfortable job.
On the other hand, the Laker's seems still to find what direction they are going to. They are amassing PG's as you said but no reliable role players coming from the bench. They will be solely relying on their stars AD and Lebron, and WB (if he can put his game together). Darvin Ham has his work cut out for him.
He's still young and his current team trust him also we can see a huge development happen to him in terms of shaping up his body this season so provably what he do when season ends can help him out to perform well this coming opening season. For sure he's a big help for their team especially if he's consistent to make his self healthy and away from those injuries which actually disturb his career for past couple of years.
The moves of the pelicans are impeccable lately. They forced Zion to lose weight to keep him healthy. They also provided him the needed veteran leadership through CJ McCollum. CJ can guide Zion like how CP3 is guiding Devin Booker.
