One of the most consistent things said about the Los Angeles Lakers throughout their run to the 2020 NBA championship was that the roster was extremely close and the chemistry was excellent.
But that closeness also extended to the front office, from team owner Jeanie Buss to vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka and on down. Returning the Lakers to the championship level was a long process that took a lot of work from many who will never receive the credit for everything they’ve done.
All of the inner workings that went into building this roster will never be known, but everyone involved did the necessary work.
