The sad part is he was not informed early until it was leaked to ESPN. Ouch! Surprises. Lakers management does love that. Grin

Now the roster, we might be surprised too in the next days to come or before the season starts again. I bet they are going to overhaul that roster again and seek players that are younger. Who knows, they might be done with making a veteran lineup again.
Where would Howard go that will make him more productive and be back with 20+ minutes per game? I wish a team signs him up. It's too cheap for just $2.6M for an agile 37 years old.
He will be a great asset for this era being dominated by 3 giant players.

Well! that's just how it is if the management doesn't like the result of your hard work and you failed to give them the championship they wanted to further expand their profits from the Lakers merchandise and other stuff. The question is, who will gonna replace Frank after this season? I'm sure it will be a huge challenge for whoever it will be because they will gonna overhaul the entire roosters and they gonna trade Westbrook

According to the rumors Nick Nurse (you can find a lot of articles in Google) is the frontrunner for the next Lakers head coach. He could be a good coach for the Lakers with his experience in the Finals against a top caliber team like the 2019 GSW.
There rumors as well that Westbrook might be traded to Indiana for Buddy Hield and Malcom Brogdon. That seems a pretty fair trade though.
The Lakers also have cleared Loul Deng's contract and they might be looking to rebuild another good roster. Well, I hope they'll resort to a younger talents this time rather signing a veteran.

Yeah, that was the rumor.

He was once a champion, lead the Raptors to its first championship, so for sure he has the talent to manage the talented team like the Lakers.
Hopefully Lebron will listen and will not overpower the coach as that is the nightmare of every coach that has worked with him.

For that I think Lebron should the one needed to trade since as I notice about him he is so self centered person and that affect their team chemistry because he always want to be always a alpha on their team. Feel pity for what happen to lakers this season and its seems there's a deep problem with them since there rooster is supposed to be good and full of talent but it turns shitty when season runs. Lets just see if he will listen to their teams will and also there is a rumor that they want to get Spoelstra because he know how he can handle lebron but I doubt heat will let their champion coach go.

I don't think that the Lakers have the balls to trade LeBron James, I mean they are already happy that LeBron belongs to their team and they have no choice but to wait until LeBron force himself with a trade so until then the Lakers are tied with him wether they want it or not. Yes, I also noticed that too that coaches cannot control LeBron's decision but I think he have some right because he managed to bring a championship for the team but yes I agree that he should really need to learn to listen because maybe the this new coach has something that could benefit the whole team.
