Mark Walter has taken over the Lakers after the team fired two minority shareholders and the main heads of basketball operations Joey Buss and Jesse Buss. In addition, most of the team's front office scouting department was fired.
A former NBA executive said in an interview with US media LakersDaily:
"If the Lakers continue to retain Pelinka, they will not be able to win the championship in the Luka (Doncic) era. Mark (Walter) must hire a talent who understands basketball operations better than Pelinka.
"I appreciate the previous decision to lay off Joey and Jesse. Although the outside world always gives credit to the Buss brothers for discovering Austin (Reeves), the fact is that Austin actively chose to try out for the Lakers and even refused to be selected by the Pistons before joining the Lakers. This is not the insight of the Bass brothers at all, but entirely the result of the planning of Austin and his team.
"Mark and Magic (Johnson) have a close personal relationship. Don’t forget that Magic is still brooding about Pelinka’s betrayal. "
