Lakers Think Frank Vogel Didn't Put Russell Westbrook In Situation To Succeed

One of the factors that led the Los Angeles Lakers to fire Frank Vogel was how he handled Russell Westbrook and his inability to make him a productive part of the team, sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic. There were questions whether Westbrook was put in a situation to succeed by Vogel.

Phil Jackson, who is consulting the Lakers in an informal role, is known to have been a fan of Westbrook throughout his career.

While Jackson has no interest in coaching, his view on Westbrook is relevant.

Entering the offseason, there was a strong sense that the Lakers would part ways with Westbrook, but that expectation is beginning to soften.
