Following the surprising sale of the Lakers to the Joshua Kushner/Bob Iger group, hiring in the front office paused, while Mark Walter began reorganizing basketball operations. The Lakers are set to hire Eric Amsler, a 22-year Miami Heat veteran, as an assistant general manager focused on scouting, joining Rohan Ramadas, who specializes in analytics. This expansion of the front office indicates a shift from the Lakers’ previously small scouting operation. Additionally, Buss family infighting over the sale is heading to court, but the sale is expected to proceed regardless of the outcome.
