    “The talk around Vogel was largely driven by outside forces with no real ties to the Lakers showing any form of concern in his performance this season. Still, as with everything related to the Lakers, even the small talk is amplified to a larger scale.”

    “There has also been a rapidly growing contingent of ‘hawks’ on the influential LakersBall fan forum calling for his head now.”

    “In reality, only a few tangential links referencing coaching circles or coaching agents offered any sort of indication that Vogel’s seat was warming up.”

    :clap: :D

    I like it. I think that’s fair. He’s been missing a third of our roster for about 20 of 25 games this far. Now that we have relative health and especially having Lebron back we will see what we are actually capable of going forward. And as mentioned it seems like even Ariza may be back soon too.

    SAS/ Skip brainless, all they talk about is LAKERS/LBJ …. I remember when Braves won the WS these two opened the show by saying LBJ had a terrible game last night . They were absolutely obsessed with the LAKERS then came LeBron.

    Lakers are not firing Vogel. There is no one to replace him.

    He’s off the hot seat. At least for now. We need to start winning and all the talk will go away. If we continue to be a mediocre.500 team all bets are off. But I think we are due for some more winning basketball which silences the talking heads.

    If I wanted to start an NBA team, Lebron is 1 of 3 guys in the history of the NBA I would start a team with. Outside of the court, I wouldn't hire Lebron to run a burger joint at the county fair, let alone GM of a NBA team.

    Did you read the article? He seems to be pretty decent at making money off the court is what is said. That cat has been winning in a lot of areas for awhile now.

    For those that can't access the article...

    For the eighth straight year, King James reigns supreme, earning more than $110 million.
    LeBron James has ruled over the NBA almost from the moment he entered the league in 2003, racking up four MVP Awards, four championships and 17 All-Star Game selections. Yet even now, at age 36 and entering his 19th season, King James is finding new jewels to add to his crown.


    With his $41.2 million salary for the upcoming 2021-22 season and an estimated $70 million from his ventures off the court, the Los Angeles Lakers star is set to haul in $111.2 million in a single year, demolishing the NBA earnings record of $96.5 million he established over the 12 months ending in May. That keeps him atop Forbes’ ranking of the NBA’s highest-paid players for the eighth straight year.

    James already reached a financial milestone this year when he surpassed $1 billion in career earnings before taxes and agents’ fees, pushing his net worth to roughly $850 million, according to Forbes estimates. He continued his march toward billionaire status this week when his media and entertainment business, the SpringHill Company, announced the sale of a minority stake at a valuation of about $725 million. The Los Angeles-based company does everything from producing movies and documentaries (Space Jam: A New Legacy, What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali) to doing marketing work for the likes of J.P. Morgan. James is not expected to pocket much cash from the deal, instead reinvesting the bulk of the proceeds into the business, a source close to the transaction tells Forbes. James and his business partner Maverick Carter will retain a controlling interest in the company, which has a TV deal with ABC Studios and a first-look film agreement with Universal Pictures.

    He is successful at everything he does because he is already well known and famous, He is a great basketball player but I wouldn’t exactly say he is great at other fields too… his connections are hella strong in life, that’s a huge advantage to have .
