NBA legend Chris Paul linked to Lakers' new ownership group
13 Aug
Summary
- Josh Kushner and Bob Iger are reportedly set to buy the Lakers.
- Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka are expected to stay in their roles.
- Chris Paul is a name to watch for a front office position.
As Mark Walter prepares to sell his majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, speculation surrounds potential shifts in basketball operations. Current indications suggest stability, with Jeanie Buss reportedly retaining her governor position and Rob Pelinka continuing as general manager.
Following Walter's acquisition of his stake last October, the front office has seen several new additions. ESPN reports that Chris Paul, who recently concluded a 21-season playing career, is a notable name being considered for involvement.
Paul's leadership capabilities are well-regarded, evidenced by his tenure as president of the National Basketball Players Association. His past connection to the Lakers involves a blocked trade in December 2011, when he was rerouted to the Los Angeles Clippers.
