Lakers hire Vogel as head coach and Kidd as an assistant

[lakerboy]

Your move James

[funnyb25]

James will fire them both

[thetrinity]

almost comical

[Ratpack]

vogel got a 3 year deal so I guess he didn't care the new standard is 5 years for a coach he just wanted a job

[KRIT]

Why are there so many bad coaches in the NBA. The league just constantly recycles them. One gets fired, then someone hires that same guy a couple years down the road. I think earlier the Lakers were targeting Vogel, Mike Woodson and Lue. You can make a case that those are some of the worst coaches.

[thomorino]

Its a better look than hiring Lue for free agents - sends the message Lebron isn't running the organization, obviously he would have preferred Lue.

Guy is a happy loser

Yup. They are doing everything to make sure James isn't happy

[krk1030]

Kidd already plotting his takeover.

[asiagambler]

Well they could have done worse. Vogel actually knows a little about x's and o's at least from a defensive standpoint. Only question is why did Vogel take the job and one that also includes Jason Kidd forcefed onto his staff? Must be desperate.

None of it matters anyway unless Lakers can get Davis. I think James has already declined

[jjgold]

Of
Course

He’s a snake

Kidd already plotting his takeover.

[BuckyOne]

Let's compare the talent on this Lakers team to the talent Frank Vogel had when he was winning games? Jason Kidd has something to work with in Lonzo Ball and Rondo.

We need an extra timeout.

Somebody "hit me"...

[Mrtop7]

this just in.... lebron's hammy acting up again

[jjgold]

Kid and James already have a plan

[Enkhbat]

Vogel>Kidd

[Mrtop7]

vogel born in wildwood crest N. jersey...........UK man


lebron already doesn't like him

[2daBank]

I heard That why Lue isn’t the coach, they offered him 3 and guess he felt like that was pretty insulting for championship coach! Not to mention the whole Jason Kidd thing, since when do orginazatons pick a coaches staff? That not a recipe for success!!


Lakers turning into the browns of the nba, and not the current browns but the dumpster fire version of last 20 years! Lol

[KVB]

I read that too Banker.

Fuk the 5 year deal standard.

But yeah, getting into the coaches staff is a little much.

Walton signed a 4 year deal with Sac.

Laker fans might protest.

Again...

[thomorino]

Yup. They are doing everything to make sure James isn't happy

They wouldn't have hired a coach without consulting Lebron first, hiring Lue send the message the Lakers are letting Lebron run everything, bad look for potential free agents,hiring Vogel sends the message Lebron is getting consulted but not running the show like in Cleveland.

It's the right move with a huge offseason coming up, big name free agents don't want to play for an orginzation where a player is calling the shots.

[Joey Vigs]

How does Kidd not get another head coaching job? Vogel is better suited?

Kidd's a joke, Vogel was a winner in Indiana and Orlando was too young for anyone to win with

[TheMoneyShot]

Do not understand the Vogel hiring at all??? Just dumb.

This isn’t really accurate tho, they offered Lue the job, he just wisely turned it down.

Big name free agents prob don’t wanna play for a organization that appears to be clueless regardless of who calling the shots.

[thomorino]

The Lakers likely never wanted Lue, they low balled him on purpose to get him to turn down the job while still offering him a job to placate Lebron. The offer to Lue wasn't just 3 years he would have had a co-head coach too. Vogel was likely who Buss wanted all along since he's the one Phil Jackson who Buss consults constantly with thought was the better head coach.

[IBetYou]

It's Blatt-Lue all over again. That's why Lue didn't take the job, he's already privy to this con.

[The General]

Great hires. Vogel tremendous and Kidd will learn more.

[funnyb25]

LeBron should prolly go work on his free throws instead of worrying about who the coach is. 66% shit poor.

I mean same offer this guy took right? Dunno that they were lowballing him and giving him the force fed assistant cause they didn’t want him or that just their asinine way of doing business? Either way what going on in LA is a total shitshow.

[jtoler]

magic had same team this year where they won 42 games and made playoffs as they had when Vogel went 25-57 with them lakers been a dumpster fire for 6 years now bron should have never went there

Nah, Lue was stupid... It's 18mil, he's got no credit for his coaching before and should have taken the free money

they didnt want lue they did it the old bitch way of offering you something they know youre gonna turn down they arnt going anywhere anytime soon and theyll keep losing fans

[TheMoneyShot]

Vogel though???? lol To represent Lakers Nation??? I just can't believe it.

[homie1975]

This will end badly. Kidd will stab Vogel in the back. Both will be gone within 4 yrs. First Vogel fired then kids

[acquavallo]

Lue loses 10 million from Cavs if he takes job.
