After a largely failed season, the Lakers will have to make changes during the summer, whether on the roster, but also on the bench. Frank Vogel could lose his position very quickly, while his replacement could be found in stride. It is precisely an elder of the house who is mentioned.
For the Lakers, and their supporters, the ordeal is soon over. More than one game to play for this team, which is no doubt eager to go on vacation to forget this campaign, and quickly plan for the future. After such a fiasco, we obviously expect cleaning, with Russell Westbrook headlining.
Will the leader be traded? Nothing is less certain, even if Michael Jordan would be in person on the file. However, the players are not the only ones affected by the changes in the workforce, since it should also change on the bench. The first target? Frank Vogel.
The first move of the Lakers already known?
We’ll have to wait until the end of the regular season, but it’s likely that Vogel won’t coach the Angelinos for much longer. He is not responsible for everything, but let’s say that the coach has his share of responsibility in the failure of his team. His replacement has already been mentioned, and he could be accompanied by a former member of the house.
Juwan Howard’s name has been floated as a candidate for the Lakers’ coaching job when, as is expected, Frank Vogel is let go. But an L.A. source tells https://t.co/CA94GXeXiS that Rajon Rondo could be coming in as an assistant coach should Howard somehow get pried from Michigan.

Juwan Howard is a name hanging around to become the next coach of the Lakers, to replace Frank Vogel. But a source told Heavy.com that Rajon Rondo could arrive as an assistant.
No, Rajon Rondo would not return as a player, but as an assistant. It’s quite an interesting fact for the Lakers, who don’t yet know who will be on their bench next season. Juwan Howard is quoted, but is taking a rookie coach in the NBA a good idea? It’s a hell of a risk, especially given the ambitions.
We should also expect some moves in the roster, including Russell Westbrook, which could be exchanged during the summer. Finding the trade won’t be an easy task, but Rob Pelinka is sure to try his luck in the future, much to the delight of some fans.
Movements in sight for the Lakers, who absolutely must change something in their roster. Can bringing an elder from home help? We may find out next season.
