Mitch Kupchak may be back in the game within the next several months.
Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times reported on Wednesday that he is hearing that the former Los Angeles Lakers general manager could be getting another NBA gig after the season. Woelfel adds that it will “probably” be a GM job as well and would “most likely” be with an Eastern Conference team.
Kupchak, 63, served in the Lakers front office for 31 years (including 23 years as their GM) and oversaw five championships. He was fired in a 2017 house-cleaning however and was replaced by current Lakers GM Rob Pelinka.
Based on these recent comments that Kupchak made, it sounds like he would be thrilled to get another opportunity to prove himself in an NBA front office.
