On January 19, 2022, Beijing time, the recent Los Angeles Lakers were a mess. First, the team lineup is weak and unable to form a strong lineup, resulting in a mediocre team record; subsequently, the Lakers spread rumors that head coach Vogel was about to be fired. If the Lakers hadn't beaten the Western Jazz in yesterday's game, Vogel could have been fired at this moment.
Although they eventually escaped firing, Vogel and the Lakers' status quo has not been resolved. When it comes to rumors of being fired, Vogel and the Lakers coaching staff broke big news to the Los Angeles media that the Lakers' current plight is closely related to Jenny Bass's best friend, Lambis. Lambis' husband is the Lakers' operations manager, and he actually runs a lot of the Lakers' deals. The lakers' current general manager Pelinka and the magician Johnson, who had previously run away from the Lakers, are puppets, and Lambis's husband is the actual controller behind them.
As Jenny Bath's best friend, Lambis doesn't work for the Lakers, but she has a best friend relationship with Jenny Bass, and Jenny and Lambis discuss a lot of things, and the relationship with her husband, a layman, has too much impact on the Lakers' operations.
For example, Pelinka and Rambis have influenced the Lakers' lineup configuration. This season, Vogel experimented with the league's first lineup changes, including LeBron James' small lineup as a center. During the Lakers' use of the small lineup, the Lakers' record has improved, and James's personal data has also ushered in a significant rise. But Lambis and Pelinka suggested that Vogel use a large lineup, and frequent lineup changes have led to lakers players becoming more and more uncomfortable, and the record is difficult to guarantee. It can be seen that although Lambis is an outsider, he has infiltrated the Lakers' lineup.
Moreover, when faced with the choice of whether to trade Demar DeRozan last summer, including James, they wanted the team to trade Demar DeRozan, but the team refused. In the end, the deal came to Westbrook, and everyone saw the impact that Westbrook had on the team. After all, when the Lakers were in Los Angeles, James's voice was not as useful as it was in Cleveland, so he had to swallow the bitter fruit.
It has to be said that as the actual owner of the second-largest team in the league by market capitalization, Jenny Bass gave a large part of the team's voice to her girlfriend, which is really irresponsible. You know, when Lambis was in the Knicks, he made a mess of the Knicks as well.
