Lakers News: Frank Vogel Will Coach Team LeBron James In 2020 NBA All-Star Game

After an unsuccessful stint with the Orlando Magic, Frank Vogel has turned his head coaching career around by coming to the Los Angeles Lakers.

After parting ways with former head coach Luke Walton, the Lakers were in talks with several candidates, most notably current Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Tyronn Lue and Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams. However, both head coaches opted to take positions elsewhere, leaving the door open for Vogel to return to Los Angeles where he previously served as an advanced scout for the team.

Since taking the job, Vogel has impressed both those within the organization and analysts alike with how he has gotten his roster to buy in on both ends of the floor and play winning basketball.
