3. A more stable front office

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rather hectic over the last year with countless reports from the teams that included leaks and potentially tension, all which were a bigger story than the basketball we were seeing on the court.

Heck, Magic Johnson even quit his job as President of Basketball Operations with an impromptu press conference to announce his decision. Nothing about the Lakers’ brass over the last year has screamed stable.

While it won’t necessarily affect the players that the team already signed, establishing that winning culture from the top-down and making the year less of a headache wil absolutely have a positive impact on the game.

The thing with this one obviously is that the Lakers are not going to just get a complete front office overhaul, that will never happen. However, Rob Pelinka could be better, Jeannie Buss could be better and the entire staff as a whole need to be better in keeping leaks from happening.

Not only can it be a headache, but establishing a more stable foundation is going to set the front office up to actually handle situations when they happen during the season. Whether it is injuries, trades, or whatever it is, there will be some things thrown at the team that the front office is going to have to get over.

Just look at the teams that have won it all. The Toronto Raptors have a great general manager that took his shot on Kawhi Leonard and it paid out. The Golden State Warriors have always been known for their stability from the top all the way to the bottom.

Next. Ranking each Laker role player by importance. dark

The Lakers must figure out that formula and try to establish a new precedent for the front office. That is the first step to long-term success, after all.
