Rob Pelinka Discussion: BBall Ops Pres + GM (AKA: Lucky Rob)

Irwin said on the show after the Sixers game that he asked if we replaced any of the scouts that were fired, and he was told nope, we haven’t. So that’s not great, but hopefully soon, definitely well before the draft, at least a few to watch players still playing in college, I mean come on.

 

Bron been scouting them all since they first picked up a ball.

 

I’m sure we have some, just not any of the ones tied to the Buss bros. That’s one area I can’t be too upset about them not filling right away, same as if they fired a coach mid-season, I don’t imagine the best scouts are unemployed at the moment.

If people want to hate on Irwin, I don’t care, he does have his shtick, and his show is more comedy/basic Laker talk more than in-depth basketball, but come on man, he has sources. His friend that is regularly on his show works in the front office, I’m not sure why people don’t see that. Like you can not like his goofy a**, but he has sources, at least that one within the team, as well as with player agents. Hell he had an interview with Daryl Morey a while back clarifying Morey’s comments on the Lakers bubble title. I will continue to share things he says, he has a direct line to the team.
