The road less traveled

The future of Mitch Kupchak hangs in the balance with the rest of the front office staff. We will know more after his meeting with Buss and Magic. Mitch has tried to grab star free agents and bring them to LA.

Kupchak came close to landing Durant or Westbrook.

Unless the team has a miracle come back to make the post-season or Kupchak makes a move to trade for a role player who can help attract a star player then Kupchak may on his way out of LA.

Lastly, the coaches and players are a different story.
