Vogel introduction caught up in ongoing Lakers drama | |

The former Lakers great appeared on ESPN's "First Take" and said general manager Rob Pelinka "betrayed" him, which was one of the reasons he resigned as president of basketball operations. That put the GM in the position of using most of Vogel's 26-minute news conference to respond. Pelinka said he has talked to Johnson several times since his resignation on April 9 and said Johnson's comments surprised him. MORE | |
