On March 8, 2022, Beijing time, there is a new news about the Los Angeles Lakers, that is, the team's head coach Vogel is likely to be fired by the team after the end of this season! According to The Athletic fame Sam Amick and Bill Oram, all indications are that Vogel will be replaced this summer, unless the team has a stunning playoff trip this season.
And it is reported that after the Lakers' crushing defeat to the Nuggets in January, Vogel is close to being sacked, and all indications are that he will be replaced this summer, unless the playoffs can reach the second round or the Western Conference Finals this season, but for now, this should be unlikely!
So far this season, the Lakers have only won 28 wins and 35 losses, the winning rate is only 44.4%, which is unacceptable to fans and teams, to know that before the start of the season, the fans' expectations for this team are still championships, and now even entering the playoffs is a huge problem, which is inseparable from the head coach!
In fact, Vogel still has a big problem in the game, for example, there are often some stubborn ideas when employing people, and the suspension is not timely enough when the team is behind and the scene is not optimistic. Coupled with the fact that he and the entire coaching staff have not been able to integrate Westbrook into the team all season, this is the most fatal point and the biggest problem for the Lakers this season!
So in the offseason, Vogel's departure from the Lakers seems to have become a foregone conclusion, and the Lakers want to continue to compete for the championship in James's final peak, then Vogel is definitely not the best coach, after all, Davis' state is not as good as the championship season, James's age is two years older, the whole team has higher requirements for coaches, and Vogel seems to be difficult to adapt to such a team!
