The last few offseasons have been difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers and their fans, as they have attempted to bring in various superstar free agents.
Former general manager Mitch Kupchak had a tough task as the team did not have much talent on its roster to appeal to free agents, which helped lead to the Lakers striking out on every big-name free agent like Carmelo Anthony, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMar Derozan and Kevin Durant, among others.
The Lakers front office has undergone a complete makeover in recent weeks though, as owner Jeanie Buss fired her brother Jim Buss and Kupchak, and hired former Laker great Magic Johnson to be president of basketball operations.
