LeCOWARD sitting out again. Don’t be suprised if his ankle gets magically healed for Thunder and Warriors games so he can qualify for the scoring title. Selfish, spineless and fraudulent.

This definitely isn’t Frank Vogels fault. Something that I have yet to hear anybody on tv mention, is that a Head Coach works alongside the front office, devising plans and ideas as to who the Coach needs (or desire), as players who can work well with the agenda and playing style that the Head Coach is bringing to the table. With that said, it is undeniable that Frank Vogel is a “defensive first playing style” Coach. This is how he attained his initial success in the NBA. Give me young, hard working players, and I’ll get them to buy in, play defense and make a star in the process. Which In this case, he initially already had 2 stars with Lebron and AD, so the rest should just be plug-ins that fit his style of play.
Now with that said; I will not fail to exclude the fact that Vogel laid an egg in his 3 years in Orlando, but that front office has been laying eggs for a decade. The Lakers front office is a revered front office, that also needs a lot of cleaning up to do, especially after how they treated Magic. But my point is, at this stage (3 years in) they didn’t put a team together that would be suitable for Frank Vogels identity, which is Defensive “first and foremost.” This is Lebron’s team. And quite frankly, idk a true genuine coach (who isn’t Ty Lue) that can coach a team that a Player put together. In fact, Lebron is the only player in Nba history to do so. I guess Koodo’s for Lebron, but that is why he does not deserve a pass on this.

I know! His approach to it was definitely funny, but The only thing I didn’t like about Stephen A making this comment; is the hypocrisy he will display when Mark Jackson finally gets a coaching job again… because as Stephen A just said; “where was he before he got that job? He was here!”

Lebron wants everything and everyone to win a championship. If he’s that good than he could accomplish with the players he has

Teams seem to have forgotten that chemistry is important. They keep grabbing players that look good on paper and throwing them together on a team thinking they will win. Stupid

Frank Vogel is trying his best with what was given to him by the upper management and LeBron James.. Lakers let someone with no basketball iq people calling the shot is terrrible (if it is true that Linda Rambis is making a few phone calls to agents – that itself is a major problem).. Lakers could have DeRozan but choose to have Westbrook… (the players lost in the trade is youth and defence) – KCP and Caruso is deeply missed this season
