As fate would have it, a rare opportunity could be emerging to reshape the Los Angeles Lakers at the very top. A legit shot at landing Sam Presti may present itself.
While the Lakers transition from the Buss family era to Mark Walter’s leadership, ESPN’s Tim Bontemps reported on The Hoop Collective that the Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to be sold soon. The timing is striking, because with new ownership often comes organizational overhaul.
Walter is the new face of Los Angeles Lakers ownership, but make no mistake, he did not step into this role to keep things running as is.
