Friday was a historic day for the Los Angeles Lakers organization as with the start of the new league year, they announced a plethora of roster moves, including their blockbuster trade for Russell Westbrook.
The announcements didn’t stop at roster moves though as the Lakers also inked head coach Frank Vogel to a contract extension. Vogel was entering the final year of the three-year deal he originally signed with the Lakers, and although the terms of the extension were not released, he will now be sticking around for at least a couple more seasons.
The extension was long overdue for Vogel, who led the Lakers to their 17th championship in his first season with the team.
