DOWN THE STATE from Los Angeles, the always outspoken Draymond Green is looking at the turmoil going on right now in the ranks of the Lakers… and it’s giving him some bad vibes.

“As a basketball fan, as a basketball player, if you’re looking at the situation with the Los Angeles Lakers, you end up with so many questions,” the Golden State forward said in his “The Draymond Green Show” podcast.

“I think the way that it’s turned out now [...] as a player or coach, you see that, it’s a bit frightening.”

    When asked about the news, Vogel said that he “didn’t know s--t.”

    LA general manager Rob Pelinka made the news official just this morning (Manila time), via a press release where he praised Votel as a “great coach and a good man.”
