NBA coaching hires typically fit into two categories of power profile: strong or weak.
There are also generally two kinds of general managers working in the league: those who make decisions aimed at keeping their jobs, and those who are determined to do things their way, even if it comes with the risk of failure.
Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka made it clear which type of executive he wants to be in hiring head coach Frank Vogel, who made it clear where he currently falls on the coaching power spectrum.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Pelinka got Vogel to take only a three-year deal, and Vogel agreed to take on Jason Kidd as lead assistant coach.
