The Los Angeles Lakers organization has undergone a complete makeover in recent months, as team president Jeanie Buss decided to part ways with her brother, Jim, as vice president of basketball operations in addition to also parting ways with general manager Mitch Kupchak.
She replaced them with perhaps the most beloved Laker of all-time, Magic Johnson, who assumed the role of president of basketball operations, and former sports agent Rob Pelinka, who took over as general manager.
With Johnson and Pelinka now in charge of basketball operations, it was expected that more moves were to come within the organization, and that happened recently as it was reported that Lakers strength and conditioning coach Tim DiFrancesco resigned from his position on Tuesday.
