On Monday morning at the UCLA Health Training Center, GM Rob Pelinka introduced Frank Vogel as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Vogel keyed on his optimism about his new team’s prospects, and shared his organizational and basketball values while seated next to Pelinka as the two fielded questions for about 30 minutes. It’s been a very loud offseason for the Lakers since Magic Johnson stepped down on the final day of the 2018-19 regular season, but Vogel’s message can be summed up quite neatly.
“I see a lot of promise, a tremendous amount of promise for what we can be,” said Vogel.
