Lakers: Danny Green defends Frank Vogel, thinks blaming him isn’t fair – All Lakers

[ad_1]

The Lakers are going through very difficult times right now. Not only are they struggling to win games and stay in the hunt for the playoffs, but the general mood has changed and become somewhat hostile.

Hostile might be a strong word, but there is no doubt that there is a sense of unease around the organization. It seems people everywhere are looking for someone on the Lakers to blame. Sometimes it’s Russell Westbrook, sometimes it’s Frank Vogel.

But not everyone agrees to put his bad season on Vogel. That would include former Lakers players like Danny Green, who took his chance to defend his former coach this week on Inside the Green Room.

“Coach Vogel man, I liked Coach. He was great, and that’s one of the reasons I don’t want to be a coach. He was dealt, I don’t mean a bad hand, but it was “It’s a situation where it’s hard to understand, especially with injuries, COVID. He hasn’t had some of his best players in the lineup yet and he’s being blamed for a lot of things that I think aren’t his fault at all. It makes no sense. Poor stretches – I mean, hey, they do what they do, it’s their business. They make up their own mind. They figure out where they want to go but I think Coach Vogel is a great coach and I think he should be there.

Green was part of the Lakers team that entered the bubble and exited with an NBA championship. He was later traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a deal that brought Dennis Schroder to Los Angeles.

But he is right. Vogel received a roster that had almost no chance of getting out of the gates hot. Add to that the fact that Russ struggled and AD was absent, and it’s hard to see how anyone would expect him to dominate his team.
