Jim Buss says the Lakers have the 'perfect number' of young players

The Lakers have just the right amount of young players, according to Jim Buss. Is it a sign?

Los Angeles Lakers quotes and tidbits are coming in droves since the front office fired head coach Byron Scott, hoping to turn things around after hitting franchise-low after franchise-low through the last three seasons. Executive vice president of basketball operations Jim Buss has the task of steering the Lakers back toward contention immediately, and Eric Pincus provided a great interview with him over at Basketball Insiders.

Buss shared his hope that Luke Walton will help cultivate a fresh culture for a growing team, similar to what Brad Stevens has done for the Boston Celtics.
