Closing Thoughts
As the Lakers charge more towards their youth movement, keeping their coaching staff strong is the last line of defense. Careless coaching can cost the team years of development and talent that they may never get back.
When it comes to how many players the Lakers have on their roster that are still very new to the NBA, that comes up at the top talking point. Luke Walton can be trusted for now, but going too easy or too hard on the team next season will determine his long term fit.
As for franchise decisions, it looks more likely that Magic Johnson will be having the ultimate say on major decisions from the team. He has a great case to present to the team’s leadership in terms of his resume, but if given a job like general manager, he’ll have to prove it with more than just words.
