The Los Angeles Lakers are hiring Eric Amsler, a senior executive with the Miami Heat, as an assistant general manager. The move is described as the second assistant general manager hire of the Lakers’ offseason under general manager Rob Pelinka.
Both outlets report that Amsler currently serves as the Heat’s vice president of player personnel. The announcement comes after a multi-month search, with the Lakers filling a second assistant GM position as part of the front office’s ongoing staffing updates.
While the sources largely align on the identity of the hire and the Lakers’ intent to add another assistant GM, they differ in how much additional detail they include beyond confirming the appointment. Post emphasizes the timing of the completion of the search and the role as the Lakers’ second assistant GM, while Yahoo Sports focuses more directly on the hire itself.
