The Los Angeles Lakers are officially out of the playoffs and it was pretty clear that Montrezl Harrell was not pleased with how Frank Vogel handled him in the LA's shocking first-round exit.
The former Sixth Man of the Year only featured in four games against the Suns while averaging a mere 9.8 minutes per night. On Saturday morning, the Lakers forward took to Instagram to share his frustrations in a rather sarcastic manner.
Can you blame Harrell for being upset? I mean, he averaged over 18 points per game in the playoffs last season with the Clippers. In 2020/21, he still had a respectable role with the Lakers, but that completely diminished in the postseason.
Harrell has yet to say if he will return to LA or test the waters in free agency this summer, but there's definitely a belief that he'll go elsewhere. His numbers took a notable hit with the Lakers and he frankly wasn't treated right in the Suns series.
But if one thing is for sure, his level of effort and heart is always on full display when he does step on the court. He has the winning mentality the Lakers look for. Perhaps he'll be interested in a second chance with the organization next season, but it remains unclear if that'll be the case.
