According to ESPN’s Arash Markazi on Tuesday, though Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak were attached to the team’s young core, nobody on the Lakers roster will be untouchable if Johnson has a player he wants.

It was reported last month that the Lakers were unwilling to part with their core young players, but now there’s a new sheriff in town calling the shots. Still, with Johnson having no prior front office experience, his quick trigger could be a double-edged sword as the team’s future hangs in the balance.
