Mark Walter’s first major Lakers shift is already showing.
More than a dozen business side employees were reportedly laid off amid a larger reorganization.
Walter isn’t coming in to keep the same family run Lakers structure.
He’s reshaping the business operation first.
That matters because this is how new ownership groups usually signal control:
Evaluate the old structure.
Trim what they don’t think fits.
Rebuild the operation in their image.
The Dodgers under Walter became known for aggressive spending, infrastructure, and modern process.
Now Lakers fans are getting the first real glimpse of what his influence could look like.
It’s the beginning of a power shift.
