On April 11, Beijing time, after the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly defeated the Denver Nuggets 146-141, according to the news of the famous Wo Shen, the Lakers will dismiss their employer Vogel, and it is expected to tell him this decision on Tuesday (Beijing time).
At the same time, the Lakers are now looking for a new manager, but there is no very basic and clear direction. In other words, the Lakers' new manager has no front-runner.
Since coaching the Lakers, Vogel has coached a total of 225 games in three seasons, with 127 wins and 98 losses, with a winning percentage of 56.4%. Meanwhile, in these three seasons, Vogel has led the Lakers to win the championship.
In the 2019-20 season, the Lakers won 52 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the West in the regular season and eventually winning the championship; in the 2020-21 season, the Lakers won 42 wins and 30 losses, ranking seventh in the West, stopping in the first round; in the 2021-22 season, the Lakers won 33 wins and 49 losses, ranking 11th in the West, missing the playoffs.
Due to the Lakers' poor performance this season, they were once regarded as the favorites to win the championship and could not even enter the playoffs. Rumors about Vogel's dismissal continued long before and after the trading deadline.
Now, with the season over, the Lakers have finally decided not to make the playoffs, and even if the Lakers win the game today, Vogel will be sacked.
