This week, it was announced that Tim Harris, a pivotal member of the Los Angeles Lakers' front office, would be leaving the franchise at the end of this season. Harris has been the Lakers' president of business operations for decades, and he played a key role in securing the team's huge television deal with Spectrum SportsNet.
The team has now found a replacement for Harris, and it will be Lon Rosen. Rosen has been involved with the front office of the Los Angeles Dodgers for over a decade, which makes him seem like a fitting hire for new Lakers majority owner Mark Walter, who also owns the Dodgers.
Via ESPN:
Rosen started his career by getting hired to work for the Lakers during the Showtime era in the 1980s as an intern, and he eventually rose to a position in the front office. He also served as Magic Johnson's agent for many years before moving to his role with the Dodgers.
Walter officially purchased a majority share of the Lakers this past October after the Buss family had owned the team since 1979. Under his regime, the Dodgers have won three of the last six World Series championships, including the last two.
According to a report by Dan Woike of The Athletic this month, the Purple and Gold are expected to hire people for a number of front-office positions this summer and model their front office after that of the Dodgers.
