Monk also talked about what went on within the team during the challenging journey and how Frank Vogel remained cool and calm throughout the season despite the downfall and uncertainties faced by the team.

Nevertheless, the Lakers will have a long rest as they are out of playoffs, and the management will be busy hunting for a new coach for the next season as they have officially parted ways with Frank Vogel.
