On April 12, the Lakers officially issued an announcement to officially sack team coach Vogel: "Vogel is the 27th head coach in the history of the team. During his tenure, Vogel set a record of 127 wins and 98 losses and led the Lakers to the NBA championship in the 2019-20 season.
Then the Lakers official posted a photo of Vogel holding the cup and wrote: "Thank you, coach." ”
It can be seen that with Vogel's dismissal, the Lakers, who have failed this season, are about to usher in a series of great changes. First and foremost, of course, is where James went.
In an interview with the media, James talked about whether to renew the team's contract in the offseason. He said: "Because of the collective bargaining agreement, Ritchie and I (James' agent) have not been able to start talking to Rob (Pelinka) and management. When we can talk, we will see the results. ”
In addition, who will take over the position of Lakers coach has also been drawn a big question mark. According to Shams, sources reveal that the current Raptors coach Nas is the number one target for the next Lakers manager.
At the same time, there is also news that the current 76ers coach Rivers, the current Jazz coach Snyder and others are candidates for the new Coach of the Lakers.
Another huge problem is Westbrook's giant contract, and los Angeles will undoubtedly be cloudy over the next two months.
