Opinion: Firing Frank Vogel may be the Lakers' best option with few good roster moves available

• The Lakers are 22-23 and eighth in Western Conference
• Frank Vogel's job security took hit Wednesday after blowing 15-point lead

The Los Angeles Lakers begin a six-game road trip and the biggest question facing the woebegone team is whether Frank Vogel returns to L.A. as the head coach.

Already on the hottest of seats in the brightest of NBA lights, Vogel’s job security took another hit after the Lakers dropped a 111-104 home game to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday – a game in which the Lakers led by 15 late in the first quarter and were outplayed in the fourth quarter.

Given the state of the Lakers – 22-23 and clinging to eighth place in the Western Conference – changes are coming, and while roster improvement are necessary, the Lakers have limited options in that area.
