The Los Angeles Lakers continue to seek a second assistant general manager. While Rohan Ramadas was appointed to oversee the analytics department, the team has not yet filled the development and scouting-focused position. Candidates reported confusion regarding the interview process, and two potential hires, Steve Senior and Prosper Karangwa, reportedly turned down the opportunity. The Lakers aim to enhance their scouting department in light of recent changes in ownership and staffing. They have interviewed several candidates since last season but have not made a selection.
