The Lakers are an amazing organization. Iโm looking forward to meeting Mark and excited about the future. I am also grateful to Jeanie and the Buss family for welcoming me to LA, and Iโm happy that Jeanie will continue to be involved. I look forward to working with both of them to win championships!
"If I were another team, I would not think this is a great development. I think the Lakers are only gonna get more dangerous as an organization with the more resources that are theoretically here about to be poured into it."
