The Los Angeles Lakers had an eventful offseason. All three levels of the organization were overhauled, as the roster, coaching staff and front office all changed.
Rob Pelinka took over as the lone voice of the front office, assuming more power when Magic Johnson abruptly stepped down from his position as team president hours before the 2018-19 season finale. After some failed attempts, Pelinka and company finally landed on Frank Vogel as the team’s head coach.
Pelinka faced plenty of challenges after that putting together the team’s roster. People were unsure it was something he was capable of, but he did a great job putting it together.
