Lakers News: Rob Pelinka Praises Frank Vogel For Being ‘Collaborative Thinker’ But Also ‘Decisive Decision-Maker’

The Los Angeles Lakers have started the 2019-20 NBA season better than anybody could have expected with a 24-4 record and showing minimal signs of weaknesses.

And while the play of LeBron James and Anthony Davis deserve a ton of credit, it’s general manager Rob Pelinka’s team-building and head coach Frank Vogel’s coaching that have helped to maximize the talent on the roster.

The way Vogel was hired certainly didn’t inspire much confidence as the Lakers were prepared to give current Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Tyronn Lue a contract well before Vogel was even an option.
