The Los Angeles Lakers certainly know how to build an NBA champion. However, recent seasons of front office management have developed a habit of giving the wrong types of players opportunities, plaguing the franchise as a result.
Sam Quinn of CBS Sports recently wrote up a ranking of all 30 NBA front offices. The Lakers came in at a lackluster 22nd overall.
There were several key issues, including the unclear hierarchy, pointed out by Quinn in his assessment. One lackluster component that undoubtedly stood out was the Lakers' approach to attempting at rekindling the flames on failed or expired experiments.
