Coming into the season, one of the biggest questions for the Los Angeles Lakers was the coaching situation.
After parting ways with Luke Walton, the Lakers looked like they were going to be hiring Tyronn Lue to be their next head coach. Lue had won a championship with LeBron James in Cleveland, and the fit made a lot of sense on paper.
However, despite it looking like almost a done deal, the two sides weren’t close when it came to negotiating a contract. This resulted in the Lakers opening up their coaching search again and landing on Frank Vogel.
