A couple of months ago there was a comment about the possible departure of Frank Vogel as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers due to the Irregularity of a team that has a “dream team” to seek to reissue what made in 2020; Some good performances by LeBron James gave him some breathing space, but the management could not tolerate the bad game anymore and look for a replacement.
It has been the humiliating and lopsided defeat last Saturday that has put his position in serious danger. The Lakers do not look good on the court, totally blurred and depending on “King” James both in attack and to react on defense.
The Los Angeles team fell to the Denver Nuggets for 27 points, which has generated a sea of criticism within the leadership of the franchise, with which it seems he has already lost all credit.
The subsequent victory on Monday against the Utah Jazz (101 – 95) has not worked and it is said that in the offices of the Lakers there are several resumes and they have already started making calls.
The performance of the team has been mediocre: they roam in the middle of the table with a balance 01-22, the seventh place in the West and the fragile image that the team gives has destroyed the safety net that Vogel had, the coach who led the franchise to the title in 2019-20 after more than a decade without winning it.
In November we mentioned some of the names that the leadership would use to correct the situation. One of them is Mike D’Antoni, former coach of the Houston Rockets and who is still in the position of assistant coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, so the Los Angeles franchise must ask that team for permission for a possible interview.
With a record of 521 wins and 521 losses, the Former Washington Wizards coach Scott Brooks spreads nostalgia for his best years at the helm of the OKC Thunder, with Russell Westbrook at the helm.
Russell Westbrook, Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, Kent Bazemore, Carmelo Anthony, Malik Monk, Rajon Rondo, DeAndre Jordan and Trevor Ariza are part of a LeBron-led locker room that has no control over his coach.
