Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel will have a new lead assistant for the 2021-22 season after Jason Kidd was hired to be the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. It was expected that Kidd would be accepting a head coaching position somewhere after he wound up being one of the most sought-after candidates on the market.
Now, Vogel will have to replace one or more of his assistant coaches but absolutely has time to make those decisions.
Kidd can now start to build a staff to help maximize the talent surrounding 22-year old superstar Luka Doncic.
