Los Angeles Lakers: Grading the Frank Vogel, Jason Kidd hirings

It took about a month, but Los Angeles Lakers fans finally get to see who’ll be running plays for their Lakers next season. The Lakers hired Frank Vogel as their new head coach, to be assisted by Jason Kidd.

It was interesting that the Lakers front office felt so strongly about bringing in Kidd as an assistant, but not surprising that Vogel willingly allowed for Kidd to be brought in under him.

Despite having an exciting past with the Indiana Pacers back in the Paul George, David West, and Roy Hibbert days, Vogel hasn’t really had a tremendous amount of success as a head coach in the NBA of recent.
