Frank Vogel Is Banking On Trevor Ariza to Bring Lakers Back

Injuries have ravaged the roster, which has forced head coach Frank Vogel
to tinker with his lineups on a nightly basis. Before the game against the
Grizzlies, Vogel admitted that there is no timeline for him to settle on a
regular starting lineup.

“Really as long as it takes,” Vogel said. “Honestly, I would’ve hoped that
I would have landed on something by now, but we’re currently on a one-game
win streak and that’s not enough for me to say we finally found our
traction, you know what I mean?

“We’re gonna continue to look at whatever lineups are gonna work and
whatever style, AD at the four or AD at the five, which shooting guard
we’re gonna throw in there to complement those guys and that’s something
we’ll continue to evaluate until we’ve found something that we feel good
about. Obviously, Trevor [Ariza] coming back when he gets healthy will be a
big part of that and hopefully, we can lock into something.”
