When Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka came on board, I was one of many who were skeptical of a duo of front-office rookies running the show, but the pair have arguably not missed on any of their basketball decisions as of today. I think I can safely say the franchise is in the best shape it has been in five years. How would you describe the state of the franchise?

In their last three seasons, the Lakers ranked 29th, 30th, and 29th in defRTG before taking a huge leap this season with the 15th best defRTG in the league, which arguably is closer to 10-13 if not for the recent string of injuries. The biggest team improvement this season is inarguably the team’s defense. Both players have taken big leaps this season in their individual numbers and have played a big role in the team’s uptick in wins. Arguably more important than the wins have been the development of the young core, specifically Julius Randle and Brandon Ingram. The Lakers seem to have improved this year, how do you feel about this season?īefore the season began, initial preseason projections predicted the Lakers to finish the season with around 30-33 wins (up from last season’s 26 wins) which the team currently already has with nine games still left to play. Answering the questions today was site contributor Alex Regla.ġ.
