Something is quietly brewing in Los Angeles. As the sun rises on a new era, the first whispers of deep transformation are already echoing behind the scenes. The Lakers, long seen as a symbol of prestige, may be on the verge of a complete reinvention.
With the historic $10 billion sale of the franchise from Jeanie Buss to Mark Walter, the time has come for a full reset. Fans, long frustrated by organizational missteps, finally see a chance for the team to rebuild its structure properly. Recent criticisms of the Lakers’ internal management only strengthen this hope. The goal is clear: elevate the Lakers to the standard of the NBA’s best-run organizations—not just on the court, but in every corner of the operation.
Anthony Irwin : “The Lakers have also lacked in some pretty standard aspects as an NBA organization. They don’t employ a specific pro scouting department. Those responsibilities are shared among basketball ops personnel. They haven’t employed a shooting coach since Mike Penberthy left in 2022. Their analytics and video departments are as thin as it gets, compared to their counterparts around the league.”
The Lakers under fire for mismanagement
A troubling report indeed. It’s a grim reality for a team with global prestige, yet seemingly careless about its behind-the-scenes work. But that could soon change. With a bold new owner at the helm, changes are already underway. Mark Walter, known for transforming the Dodgers through heavy and strategic investments, is expected to bring the same approach to the Lakers. Staff upgrades, modernization, and increased resources across all strategic departments appear to be in motion.
Fans are embracing this momentum. On social media, enthusiasm is high, with some even calling for a full audit of the organization. The vision: build a truly professional structure—worthy of the Lakers jersey—not just to attract elite players, but also elite minds.
The franchise is being closely watched on several fronts, especially its efforts to reinforce the frontcourt and address gaps around LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Names like Nic Claxton, John Collins, and Andrew Wiggins are already floating around, and all signs suggest that the Lakers won’t hesitate to spend big in their return to title contention.
The coming months will be crucial to track the first waves of transformation. And if the Lakers finally address their structural flaws, on-court results may soon follow. This may just be the true beginning of the Lakers’ long-awaited return to the top.
