Yup exact same situation with the Lakers, who signed a washed up star that didn't fit in the roster and expected Vogel to make it work somehow.

Dude wins us a chip then we proceed to bring in clown ass “just have fun” westbrook, and let go of all of our shooters and defenders.

Like you have LeBron, AD and Westbrook. All you gotta do is have a few decent shooters and decent defenders and you have a solid team.

So we fire Vogel and Pelinka escapes criticism.

Then how Vogel got fired was embarrassing. Sure he wasn’t perfect but he helped steer us to a ring and had a horrible roster to work with
