The Lakers have made several key front-office promotions, including elevating Jesse Buss to assistant general manager and director of scouting.
The moves, announced by general manager Mitch Kupchak in a press release Friday, also featured the naming of Ryan West as director of player personnel and Clay Moser as assistant coach and director of basketball strategy.
Buss, the team’s director of scouting the past three seasons, will contribute to personnel decisions with Kupchak, executive vice president of basketball operations Jim Buss and assistant general manager Glenn Carraro. He has been with the organization since 2006, when he got his start as a basketball operations assistant.
