Among the numerous problems the Lakers faced last season was Russell Westbrook and his feud with Frank Vogel. The two sides never gelled and pushed back against one another for much of the season, sometimes privately and sometimes publicly.
It all seemed to reach its boiling point with Westbrook’s postgame press conference in which he called out Vogel and how he was using Westbrook during the season. Even Austin Reaves acknowledged Westbrook and Vogel didn’t see eye to eye during the season even if he felt it didn’t impact the team.
