Sources: Lakers to hire Heat exec Eric Amsler as assistant GM

The Los Angeles Lakers, sitting at 53–29 and fourth in the Western Conference, have added former Miami Heat executive Eric Amsler to their front office as an assistant general manager. The move comes while the team enjoys a three‑game winning streak and a net rating of +1.8, positioning them at #11 in the league’s power rankings.

Amsler’s experience with a consistently competitive Heat organization could help the Lakers navigate the remainder of the season and plan for the future. With the Lakers currently 7–3 in their last ten games, the front office may look to leverage his scouting and player‑development background to sustain their momentum and address any roster needs as they approach the playoffs.
