The Lakers’ roster makeover across the last eight months has been dramatic. Heading into training camp last season, the roster was very flawed and in need of a shake-up.
It took quite a while for that change to come, but starting in February, Rob Pelinka and the front office have made nearly wholesale changes and almost all of them have been for the better. The end result was not just a Western Conference Finals appearance but a team set up for the future.
The team secured the bulk of the core that helped them make the deep playoff run to multi-year deals and have fully committed to the new-look team.
