Lakers News: Frank Vogel Believes He Has LeBron James’ Support, Respect Heading Into 2019-20 NBA Season

There were a lot of names being thrown around as potential candidates to be the next Los Angeles Lakers head coach but in the end, it was Frank Vogel who got the job.

Vogel is most well known for his time with the Indiana Pacers where he led them to a number of battles with LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Now after battling against James, Vogel has the opportunity to work with him and some wonder how that relationship will work. James has a reputation for having his own preferred head coaches on the bench and former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue was believed to be his first choice.
