On May 6, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. Earlier today, famed journalist Sam Amick wrote about some of the Lakers' recent developments, including Westbrook, Vogel and Zen masters influencing the team.
Sam Amick pointed out that the important reason for Vogel's dismissal had to do with Westbrook, including the way he handled Westbrook, his inability to make Westbrook a more effective part of the team's plan, and so on. There is a strong sense that Vogel has a responsibility to help Westbrook integrate into the success of the Lakers' experiment. But the truth is, this has not raised questions about whether Westbrook is already in a 'position to succeed'.
On the day of the end of the regular season, Vogel was exposed to the class, and then the Lakers officially announced the news on day 2.
Sam Amick also talked about the Lakers' coaching efforts, noting that Phil Jackson has been advising on the team's coaching efforts. However, some people in power within the Lakers are dissatisfied with the fact that zen masters do not have a formal position but have the right to speak. In addition, Zen master has admired him throughout his career in Wei Shao, but Zen master is not interested in re-emerging to take over the Lakers or holding any position on the Lakers.
According to previous media reports, the Lakers are currently actively selecting a coach, and bucks assistant coach Darwin Ham and Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin are candidates.
In addition, NBA star Dan Patrick talked about Westbrook's prospects on the show, saying: "In the interpersonal circles close to James in Los Angeles, the hot topic they are talking about is this: Will he stay? He had wanted Wei Shao to be traded away, but he didn't want to tell Wei Shao that he was the one who wanted him to be traded. So, if Phil Jackson is going to advise the Lakers' next manager, that's big news. That's the biggest issue for the Lakers right now, and it's still fermenting. ”
Either way, for the Lakers, this summer's work will be heavy and tricky, and they need to deal with the relationship and avoid repeating the same mistakes next season.
