Report: Lakers assistant GM candidate expected to stay put with 76ers

The Lakers’ front-office overhaul under new ownership continues, with Mark Walter pushing for two assistant general managers. The team hired Rohan Ramadas, formerly the Pelicans' VP of basketball operations and strategy, described by a Pelicans source as a literal rocket scientist. Prospective interviews with Prosper Karangwa, the 76ers' VP of player personnel, are reported, though Marc Stein notes Karangwa may stay with Philadelphia. The Lakers previously offered Minnesota Timberwolves assistant GM Steve Senior the role, but he declined. The moves reflect an aggressive, modernizing approach to building a high-level front office.
