Team Note: The Lakers new boss has stronger financial resources and will not let the team move forward by just inertia

Lakers reporter Dan Woike recently interacted with fans and answered multiple questions.

Talking about the changes after the new boss took over the team, Woike said: "After the new boss took over, although the current atmosphere within the team is still 'everything as usual', given the influence of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Mark Walter will not let the Lakers move forward by inertia alone. Fans should know that modernization reforms have begun long before the sale, including further investment in data analysis and medical staff. However, these have certain budget restrictions. With the new boss with stronger financial resources taking over, the Lakers are expected to be in non-payment expenses. Take more risks. The Lakers are often criticized for doing well in big things, but not handling them well in small details. If resources are used reasonably, this situation is expected to improve. This certainly does not solve all problems. Many wealthy teams will still make mistakes in the use of basic salary contracts and second-round draft picks, but once the deal is completed, the additional funds should help."

According to statistics, the Dodgers' salary and estimated luxury taxes reached nearly $500 million in 2025, and Friedman, president of team operations, said "our business is in a very good condition."
