On April 12, Beijing time, the Lakers' practice of firing Vogel caused a big controversy. Such an approach may affect their pursuit of a famous coach in the offseason, and James' former teammate Jefferson is also angry Lakers management.
Let's briefly review the Lakers' approach to firing Vogel. Just after the Lakers played the last game of the regular season, the famous woj took the lead in breaking the news that the Lakers would sack Vogel and inform him the next day. Yes, the Lakers wanted to fire Vogel, not to inform Vogel at the first time, but to put the news to the reporter.
The next day the Lakers season summary meeting, Vogel was absent, and the Lakers only used a tweet to say goodbye, although the Lakers officially issued a statement, but the merits of Vogel were only a few words, and general manager Pelinka's voice seemed to be only polite.
The Lakers' approach has sparked a big controversy. In fact, Vogel himself has already expressed his dissatisfaction. After playing the Nuggets game, he was asked about the topic of the class, and he directly exploded. Missing the season wrap-up meeting is more like a silent dissatisfaction.
For the Lakers' practice of firing Vogel, Los Angeles celebrity Bill Oram described it as a kind of contempt, even an abuse. James' former teammate Jefferson angrily scolded Lakers management, "Woj announced Vogel's class a minute after the game, the Lakers didn't even have the courtesy to inform the coach who won the championship for them 18 months ago, and the Lakers' organization was completely chaotic." ”
In addition, according to the famous Broderick Turner report, there are already Lakers new coach candidates who have avoided this team, and Jazz coach Schneider has no interest in joining the Lakers, because they fired Vogel's approach. It seems that the Lakers' dismissal of Vogel this time may destroy their own giant signs and keep the famous coach away from them.
