Mike D'Antoni resigned in late April following two miserable seasons, leaving the team without a head coach.
In the offseason, Pau Gasol and Jodie Meeks left for Chicago and Detroit, respectively, leaving big shoes to fill.
After failing to land the biggest names in the offseason like Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, the Lakers brought back numerous key role players from last season including Nick Young, Jordan Hill, and Ryan Kelly.
The Lakers later acquired point guard Jeremy Lin in a trade with Houston and won the bidding rights to power forward Carlos Boozer after being amnestied by Chicago in the offseason.
