The end of the 2021-22 season will bring a merciful end to a seemingly cursed Lakers team that never got out of its own way this season. Its end will also almost certainly spell the end of Frank Vogel’s time as head coach of the team as well.
Improbably, Vogel stayed on the sidelines throughout the entire season despite rumors that he would be fired swirling since November. And Vogel is indeed expected to be fired once the season does come to an end.
That will leave a very big opening on the sidelines for the Lakers that will certainly draw the attention of the rest of the league.
