Mark Walter will not undergo major reforms, and the Lakers coaching staff is expected to be roughly similar to last season

According to Clutch Points reporter Anthony Irwin, Lakers' new boss Mark Walter did not make drastic reforms during the Dodgers' transition period, and he is unlikely to do so with the Lakers.

According to sources close to the team, the Lakers' coaching staff is expected to be roughly similar to last season, with only a small amount of additions rather than a full replacement.

Despite Walter's strong resources, Pelinka just signed a contract extension last season and also received a title boost, which is likely to make it more costly to terminate the contract. Although the details of the contract are not disclosed, if the new boss chooses to fire him, they will have to bear most of the cost of the contract.

Redick's contract is still three years left, worth $8 million per year. If Walter waits a few years before replacing Lakers leadership, they can cut that cost at least half.

So not only does Pelinka and Redick look safe, but most of the coaching staff are. Perhaps if Walter and Buss reached terms of the sale earlier, they might have a better chance of poaching some of the more top assistant coaching talent, but as for the current situation, any coaching improvement will be internal, as Reddick and his team have now had a year of running-in experience.
