Charles Barkley Has Blunt Message For The Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers keep losing games. Fans place the blame on head coach Frank Vogel. Of course, there are also people who believe Russell Westbrook is responsible for the terrible season. Charles Barkley have a big message for those who put the Lakers veteran and coach Vogel on a blast.

There’s a rumor suggesting that the Lakers will give up on Vogel. The same goes to Westbrook. Vogel benched Westbrook in the game against the Indiana Pacers. Westbrook’s benching turned the whole situation into a mess. Well, Barkley has something to say about this.

Barkley blasted those who gathered up all those players in LA. According to him, the problem goes well beyond Vogel and Westbrook

“The way they have tried to throw Russell Westbrook and Frank Vogel under the bus is just really pissing me off,” Barkley said.

Barkley would change the entire approach in LA. He is pretty mad right now.

“I’m still mad,” Barkley detailed. “Now listen, I’m not going to sit here like all those clowns from other networks that have their heads up the Lakers’ booties. They’re blaming Frank Vogel and Russell Westbrook. Listen, the people up top that put that trash together are running and hiding like cowards saying, ‘oh, it’s Frank and it’s Russ.’ They put all them old geezers out there.”

Sources reveal that Vogel’s position is safe for now. He is traveling with the team to coach them. Some would say he is coaching for his job. Others will say that he will soon leave his position in LA. What about Westbrook?

The Lakers won’t be able to trade the veteran because he is set to get a lot of money next season. NBA teams wouldn’t pay a lot for someone who struggles on the floor.

The franchise has to make a move and save the season, otherwise players will end up in the play-in tournament. LeBron James is not a fan of this game. Yes, he has great stats, but he can’t carry the team on his own. He can’t solve other people’s problems. But, he is really quiet now.
