Frank Vogel addresses age of Lakers players

By revamping its roster, the Los Angeles Lakers became the oldest team in the NBA with six out of eight new players being at least 32 years old. The topic of age is often brought up into conversation when the team’s roster is being discussed. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel was also asked to talk about it.

“Age does equal experience. IQ and intelligence does help you win,” Vogel said during Russell Westbrook’s introductory press conference. “In terms of motivation, the motivation for us is that trophy, not what people are saying. This group is highly driven to get back on top. I don’t really think anything about what anybody’s saying about our age. But I do agree that the experience will be necessary and will help us win.”
