The Lakers are the most streamlined NBA personnel; one of the teams with the lowest salary for assistant coaches, no shooting coaches; professional scouts

June 28th, the Lakers sold at a valuation of $10 billion. ClutchPoints Lakers' team reporter Anthony Irwin wrote an article about the current operation status of the Lakers under the Bath family.

He wrote: "Under the management of the Bass family, the Lakers have always been one of the teams with the most streamlined personnel structure in the sports world. The staff on and off the team are required to undertake incredibly multiple tasks. Most notably, Rob Pelinka is the team's president and general manager of basketball operations. Under his direct leadership, Jesse Buss serves as assistant general manager and scout director. Joey Buss is the official title of Vice President of Research and Development, and he also serves as president/CEO of the South Bay Lakers.

As an NBA team, the Lakers also have some basic functional settings. They have not set up a special professional scout department, and the relevant responsibilities are shared by the personnel of the basketball operations department. Since Mike Pembersey left in 2022, the team has not hired them again. Specialized shooting coaches have been hired. Compared with other teams in the league, their staffing in the data analysis and video analysis departments has also been streamlined to the extreme. "

" There was a time when Miles Simon served as assistant coach of the parent team while also shouldering the role of the South Bay Lakers head coach. "

" Speaking of assistant coaches, league sources also revealed that the salary paid by the Lakers for such positions is one of the lowest in the league, which has not yet taken into account the cost of living in the Greater Los Angeles area. This has caused the team's talent reserves in this area for many years. When was the last time the Lakers head coach became a popular young candidate for hiring for each team? This has never happened at all. "

, and the Dodgers are the opposite of the Lakers.

He wrote: "The Dodgers invest a huge amount of money in medical and player development teams, which helped them discover talent from the marginal players in the baseball world and develop them into key players who help the team win hundreds of games all year round."

"Under Walter's leadership, it is entirely possible for the Lakers to offer a 'godfather' offer to Sam Presti, Marseille Ujeri or any other top executive, inviting them to take charge of the team, making the team more stable than when they were under Pelinka... The Dodgers have always hired the best team of assistant coaches in baseball."
