The Los Angeles Lakers have made many great moves since the departure of president of basketball operations Magic Johnson at the end of the 2018-19 NBA season.
The duo of owner Jeanie Buss and general manager Rob Pelinka have largely silenced doubters and put together a great team and coaching staff. Perhaps their two most criticized moves were the hiring of assistant coach Jason Kidd and the signing of Dwight Howard.
Despite being a remarkable Hall of Fame player, Kidd has struggled since moving over to coaching. His stint with the Milwaukee Bucks was poor and was made even worse with their instant success following his departure.
