Lakers Front Office Bolstered with New Hires
10 Sep
Summary
- New hires Rohan Ramadas and Eric Amsler join Lakers front office.
- Hires signal continued front office and scouting department expansion.
- Buss family feud heads to court over remaining franchise stake.
The Los Angeles Lakers are enhancing their basketball operations and business sides with significant front office additions. Rohan Ramadas, formerly with the Pelicans and focused on analytics, has been hired as an assistant general manager. He will be joined by Eric Amsler, who brings 22 years of experience from the Miami Heat, also as an assistant general manager, focusing on scouting.
Both Ramadas and Amsler will report directly to Rob Pelinka, who continues to lead the Lakers' basketball operations. These appointments are seen as positive steps for Lakers fans, indicating a deliberate effort to expand and professionalize the team's front office and scouting departments, which were previously considered underdeveloped.
Separately, a legal battle is set to commence among the Buss siblings over the sale of their remaining 17.8% stake in the Lakers. Five siblings voted to sell to the Joshua Kushner/Bob Iger group, but Jeanie Buss opposes the sale. This dispute will be settled in court, but it is not expected to delay the broader sale of the franchise.
