On this episode of CourtCast host Trevor Lane and guest Serena Winters of Lakers Nation dive into the changing front office and how it’s going to impact fans. We discuss how Magic Johnson’s personality will allow the team to see greater success in free agency pitches, which was apparent in the show that he put on at the Lakers All-Access event Monday night.

Additionally, Trevor and Serena discuss expected general manager hire Rob Pelinka’s reputation for being a “snake” (Mamba mentality?) in a positive way and how that will ultimately help the team.

The show concludes with a vibrant discussion on rookie center Ivica Zubac, digging into just why he brings a breath of fresh air during a difficult time in Los Angeles’ season. All that and much more on the latest episode of CourtCast:
