Since ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Saturday that Frank Vogel agreed to a three-year contract offered by the Los Angeles Lakers as the team's head coach, the franchise-building soap opera of the purple and gold turned to a new chapter.

One thing for sure is that Vogel is never a star-level coach. He became the boss of the Indiana Pacers in 2011 and helped the team make it back to the playoffs that season after five years of absence. His name started to hit the headlines between 2012 and 2014. During that period, the Pacers played against the Miami Heat and Lebron James in the Eastern Conference Finals for three straight years, though they lost all three times, Vogel was recognized for his coaching in defense.

However, it was also in 2014 when the world began to realize Vogel's underperformance in coaching offense and managing the locker room, both why Indiana played very difficult in the playoffs that season. Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson both collided with the team and their teammates before they performance on the court declined enormously. Nonetheless, Vogel was totally baffled and watched the situation deteriorate. In 2016, Indiana did not renew his contract.

In the same year, Vogel found a new job with the Orlando Magic where another of his coaching weakness was exposed: He's not good at teaching young players. After two seasons with fewer than 30 wins, the Magic fired him.

So here is Vogel, a coach who has good reputation in building defense, unreliable in coaching offense, disqualified locker room manager and not the best mentor for youngsters. Are the Lakers okay with that?

For starters, the purple and gold have enough defensive talents with thanks to the good size, wingspan and athleticism of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and others, meaning that Vogel can contribute to the team in this area. In offense, the Lakers have LeBron James who is comfortable with his own "one Lebron + four shooters" model. It's more of general manager Rob Pelinka's job of finding the shooters James needs rather than Vogel's job of telling the players what to do.

The problem is with young player developing and locker room managing. James aside, the core players of the Lakers' current franchise are unexplored treasures, to be put in the nice way. The Lakers refusing to trade Ball, Ingram and Kyle Kuzma proved that the team still have high expectations for them to grow. They probably cannot count on Vogel to do that.

Locker room is nothing but bigger trouble. James has been considered by many as the actual manipulator of his team but team management of the Lakers is always political infighting. Vogel is the weak, small party got in the middle of "Team James and Rich Paul" and "Team Jeanie Buss and her Besties". Perhaps he should worry more about himself than getting involved with the adult's business.

The Lakers have their solution for at least one issue that Vogel cannot handle and that solution's name is Jason Kidd. According to Woj, the former Hall of Famer point guard agreed to work under Vogel as an assistant coach. Meanwhile, The Lakers would like to repeat what Phil Jackson used to do- no distinguishing between a top assistant and the rest of the coaches.

If you need to pick the Kidd's biggest success in his coaching career, it has to be helping Giannis Antetokounmpo find his position with the team. Apparently the Lakers hope that he can cast that magic on Ingram who has the physical potential to become a star player and Ball who, in certain ways, plays like Kidd himself when he was young.

The other reason the purple and gold wanted to add Kidd into Vogel's staff is to have a backup plan. It's unclear how much they are paying Vogel but it cannot be more than the three-year, 18-million-U.S.-dollar deal offered and turned down by Ty Lue previously. So even if the Lakers are not happy with Vogel's work, they won't begrudge firing him and Kidd can immediately take over.
