Mark Walter is already making an imprint on the Los Angeles Lakers' front office, just about three weeks after his record-setting purchase of the franchise from the Buss family was unanimously approved by the NBA's Board of Governors.

On Thursday, the Lakers reportedly fired executives Joey and Jesse Buss as part of majors changes being made to the team's scouting department.

On Friday, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported that Los Angeles Dodgers executives Farhan Zaidi and Andrew Friedman have taken on advisory roles with the Lakers.

Walter, the CEO and chairman of diversified holding company TWG Global, is notably also the Dodgers' primary owner. He's occupied that role since 2012 when he spearheaded Guggenheim Baseball Management's purchase of the MLB franchise from Frank McCourt.

Since Walter started his run at the forefront of the Dodgers' ownership consortium, the team has returned to prominence and won three World Series, including two straight.

Friedman, the Dodgers' president of baseball operations, has been instrumental during that stretch, and now he's reportedly consulting with Lakers president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka.

The Dodgers brought brought Friedman aboard to head up the team's baseball ops three seasons into Walter's ownership. At the time, Friedman was known as an analytics-inspired general manager who built the small-market Tampa Bay Rays into a team that reached the World Series in 2008 and remained highly competitive in the heavyweight-themed American League East.

Since, Friedman's helped construct an impeccable player development pipeline in L.A., where he's consistently constructed title-worthy rosters, as the Dodgers have won the NL West in all but one of his seasons with the franchise.

Per ESPN's report, Friedman's involvement with the Lakers is less significant than that of analytics guru Zaidi, who is "functioning as Walter's representative" during the ownership transition, per ESPN.

Zaidi is currently a special adviser to the Dodgers, and he's reportedly working with the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks, too — Walter bought a stake in the Sparks in 2014. Both Zaidi and Friedman are acting as senior executives of Walter's sports-holdings entity TWG Sports, which the Dodgers and Lakers are expected to become part of, according to ESPN.

While Buss will remain the Lakers' governor for at least the next five years, Walter's influence as majority owner is clear.
