We don't know how they'll spend money, or what they'll prioritize. But what we did know was that ownership upheaval had a chance to completely undermine a buildout of the basketball operations department that was already going a lot slower than Lakers fans had hoped for when the Buss family sold to Mark Walter a year and a half ago. Dan Woike at The Athletic made it clear in a report on Monday that the Lakers, who have already been turned down for a couple front office positions by potential hires, have essentially gone into a hiring freeze. There's just not any action, whether higher up in the department, or in things like scouting. So what does that mean? Well, it's not good. But there is one silver lining — there's only so much the Lakers can do over the next few months, anyway. So if there was ever a time to be hamstrung, this might be it. But the longer this goes on, the more problematic it gets. So what kind of timeline are we looking at? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers front office is at a standstill. SEGMENT 2: What does this mean for LA going forward? SEGMENT 3: How long will all of this take? Photo Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
