What I'm asking is why is it so bad that Jeanie (or Rambo, or Pelinka or all of them) chose Vogel's shorter sweeter deal, over overpaying Lue/Monty? Neither Lue or Monty are elite coaches. Looking at their track record, neither is considered elite.


If you're operating under the idea that Vogel and Lue are of the same caliber so why not just take the cheapest guy, there are a couple things to keep in mind:

1. You're simply wrong. In his first job, Lue went to the Finals every year, gained the respect of a star that is known for being difficult with coaches (who also happens to be on this team now) plus another difficult personality in Kyrie, and won a championship against a 73 win team by winning a game 7 on the road. By contrast, Frank Vogel was an unmitigated disaster in his last job. They got worse when he took over and significantly better when he left. They aren't the same.

2. The Lakers didn't see it that way either. They didn't even consider Vogel until their preferred choices fell through. They saw Vogel, imo, accurately: as a quality assistant. Only after they cheaped out and screwed up (and couldn't hire Kidd for other reasons) did Vogel become their guy and the reason is he was willing to jump through whatever hoops they presented and he was willing to take a cheapo deal.

3. Once Williams was off the board, the Lakers wanted Ty Lue as HC with Vogel and Kidd as assistants. I'd prefer to stay away from Kidd altogether because he's an atrocious coach, but it's a pretty good plan. According to reports, all that stood in their way was an extra year for Ty. They wanted 3, he wanted 5, and there was a compromise to be had at 4 and that's with Lue agreeing to their demands on assistants. We are talking about $5M of non salary cap spending. And it was a deal killer. Enjoy the extra cash, Jeanie!


Why bring up Vogels last coaching gig, when he has not one star on his team, but ignored the fact that Lou was 0-6 w/o LBJ leading to his firing.


Were...we not supposed to mention Vogel's last coaching gig? I understand he didn't have any stars, but Steve Clifford took essentially the same team and won 17 more games. I weigh that, and Lue's full seasons, more than a single 6 game stretch.


Yes this has been brought up many time already and the typical responds is, under Vogel he had to endure an injury-plagued season unlike what happened to Clifford where his team remained healthy all year. Which is also true


Oh so it turns out he did a great job? Cool. Sounds like they should have kept him.

We are comprised of mostly young players and might be adding another one with #4.

Yeah we'll see how that $30M goes. I think I've made my point and will now make my exit, allowing you guys to celebrate the coach I am sure you all wanted when the vacancy first opened.

Change the title to add “prominent” in there, it’s important. Totally different meaning than just a regular assistant.

We shall see. If you flashback in time, Luke (2016) was a better choice than Luke (2019).

I'm not down on Vogel. He's a solid coach, notwithstanding his failure in Orlando. I like to think that Vogel will be the next Rick Carlisle. Even though the Mavs have stunk for the last few years, Carlisle is still regarded as one of the best coaches in the league. Vogel was not an inspired choice, though. And the Kidd factor is a legitimate concern.

Kidd is the main factor that has me down on the hire. I just dont believe Kidd is giving up the millions MIL still owed him just to be an assistant coach here.

When Ramona tried to play the race card she lost all credibility. Michael Thompson mocked her for her stupidity.

So, then, you're essentially saying Jeanie doesn't get this hire? That makes less sense than your usual.

Would've been waiting for a while.

"Brown will be returning to the team for the 2019-20 season, the Sixers confirmed Monday night. One day after the Sixers lost to the Toronto Raptors in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, managing partner Josh Harris told ESPN that Brown would be back."

LeBron James and Frank Vogel are talking! We’re off to a great start!

...James and Vogel had their first conversation since Vogel’s hire on Tuesday. While it’s safe to assume James would have liked to reunite with his former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue in Los Angeles, there’s no reason to believe James and Vogel can’t make it work.



The Lakers will hold an introductory press conference for Vogel on Monday, May 20, at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo. The press conference will be streamed on Twitter and broadcasted on Spectrum SportsNet.

Damn, a Lue/Vogel combo would've been a solid upgrade over Luke and his staff.
