Lakers Hire Rohan Ramadas As Assistant General Manager

The Los Angeles Lakers have hired Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager under president and GM Rob Pelinka. Ramadas was most recently vice president of strategy and operations for the New Orleans Pelicans. Ramadas implemented AI and coded models to aid the front office of the Pelicans. "He's a literal rocket scientist," a Pelicans source told ESPN. Ramadas spent more than a decade working for the Aerospace Corporation before his first NBA job with the Pelicans. The Lakers plan to hire an additional assistant GM to oversee "player draft and evaluation processes," Pelinka said. The Lakers are undergoing a transformation of their front office under the new ownership of Mark Walter. The Lakers will try to implement some of the same practices that have been successful for the Los Angeles Dodgers with Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi overseeing the process.
