'This is just an inflection point where [Frank Vogel] goes from being the leader of the Lakers to part of our legacy and especially our championship legacy,' said Lakers Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka.
Vogel was under contract through next season, but almost nothing has gone right over the past two seasons for the rosters assembled by general manager Rob Pelinka and coached by Vogel, who went 127-98 in his three seasons running the club."Today is not going to be a day of finger-pointing and unwinding all the specific reasons," Pelinka said."We just felt organizationally, at the highest level, it was time for a new voice. ...
Pelinka doesn't plan to replace Vogel immediately, and he said he hasn't even assembled a list of potential candidates. The GM said it"would be great" to have a coach in place before the draft in June, but the Lakers' search will be"thorough and methodical." After so much preseason ballyhoo around the teaming of James, Davis and Westbrook, the trio managed to play in only 21 games together — and went 11-10. The Lakers used 41 different starting lineups.
The eight-time All-Star big man was dominant in the bubble, but Davis has played in just 76 of the Lakers' 154 games over the past two seasons while battling several major injury problems.
