The Los Angeles Lakers’ 2021-22 season basically couldn’t have gone worse.
Their colossal failure, one that saw the team fall wildly short of their preseason championship expectations by missing the playoffs altogether, inevitably led to heads on the chopping block. And a few of those heads have already rolled, as team majority owner and governor Jeanie Buss ultimately green-lit the firing of head coach Frank Vogel as well as the release of most of his staff.
And although Vogel and his staff deserve some blame along with nearly every single member of the basketball operations team, just as much, if not way more should go to the Lakers’ front office members.
