The 48-year-old coach's comments might suggest that he is sending a message to Lakers star Russell Westbrook, who is looking to leave the team per several reports.

Westbrook recently changed his agent. 9-time NBA All-Star has fired his longtime agent Thad Foucher, who thought that the best option for Westbrook is to remain in Los Angeles.

Lakers head coach made it clear that he does not want players on his team that have doubts about whether they want to be a Laker. Ham did not specify any names, but the recent rumors suggest that it was directed at Westbrook.

"Competing at a high level. We're going to be together,' said Ham on NBA Analysis Network.

"The most together team always does well, always wins at the end of the day,' continued Lakers head coach.

"We're going to be tough. We’re going to be defensive-minded,' said Ham about next season's Lakers mentality.

"Again, we want everybody all in on what we're doing. We don't want anybody that's second-guessing being a Laker or 'Am I in the right place?' or this, that and the third," said Ham.
