Whenever an organization makes a major leadership change — like hiring a new front office executive or replacing their head coach — the natural instinct is to think of who else is going to be shown the door in the wake of that initial change. After all, new executives usually like to hire their own people to work under them and head coaches will often want to shape their roster “in their own image,” replacing some of the current players for ones the new coach thinks would be a better fit.
The general sentiment, I think, is that the Lakers will follow this same path.
