The Los Angeles Lakers had a very eventful 2019 NBA offseason full of drama and big moves.
In addition to the Anthony Davis trade to pair him with LeBron James, they also brought in former Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic head coach Frank Vogel. Of course, the road that led to Vogel’s hiring was not a smooth one.
It was originally believed the Lakers were set to hire former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue. Both the Lakers and James were very familiar with Lue as he started his playing career in Los Angeles and led the Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals.
