Los Angeles Lakers fire Frank Vogel after disappointing 33-49 season, plan 'methodical' search for new HC

The Los Angeles Lakers fired Frank Vogel on Monday, choosing their title-winning head coach to take the fall for one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history.

Vogel was under contract through next season, but almost nothing has gone right over the past two seasons for the rosters assembled by vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka and coached by Vogel, who went 127-98 in his three seasons running the club.

Pelinka declined to elaborate Monday on why he and owner Jeanie Buss felt Vogel needed to be fired.

No surprise here, you knew that was coming.

By "methodical" I'm assuming they mean "ask LeBron."

Frank deserves better than that clown show. Glad he got a ring. And now I’m glad he’s getting out.

Basketball follies.

2:20 of shit. He was only there for one season, right?

Not sure Russ was any worse for the Lakers than he’s been recently. But when you play with Lebron, you’re under a microscope. There’s a reason Durant left OKC.

Shaq is awesome!

Love Shaq

He’s just himself and that’s a good thing

Russell Westbrook played 27 minutes last night and was 0-11 !!!

We need a solid SF to round out the lineup. Think Lebron misses home right about now?

Timberwolves just forfeited their play-in game vs Lakers

Shooting lights out, Mike Conley perfect so far. Didn't see this coming

This is stupid money. $62 million per year for a guy not likely to play 62 games a year. Good work if you can get it.

 

[Bestbuck36]

I guess they are going to ride with LBJ-AD and Reaves. Not bad if you can keep them all healthy which we already know wont happen.

That bench needs a ton of improvement though to try and compete with the Suns and Nugs
