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

That's my thought and my hesitance for the current group to make any moves before Walter can fully get his group integrated. What is our long term vision? I see some moves that on their own might not blow anyone away, but add them together and we just might have something. but it feels like we will again get caught up with going after the big name.

 

But wasn't it part of the sale to Walther, that specifically called for her to remain governor for 5 years? That's the fine print of that sell, that I'm interested in. I thought that was odd as F.

 

Rob’s clock is ticking. If we do nothing at the deadline, he needs to go. There are avenues to improve the team without compromising the future and there’s been too many instances where he simply hasn’t delivered.

The Luka trade fell in his lap. Without that, there isn’t much to show for the past few years. The time is now.

 

Like c'mon! Not even one move? If you can't get Giannis, it's totally fine! No one really expects the Lakers to be able to get him truthfully.

But at least find a way to get two players who can play minutes and use the roster spot up instead of Maxi, Knecht, and Gabe. We've seen nothing from those three and they're just taking up valuable roster spots.

With Reaves coming back, it'll give Bron and Luka more energy to rest and hustle more so I still think this team has a chance in the playoffs when the game is slowed down and more in the Lakers favor since they have 3 elite playmakers. But you need more depth. 2-3 role players and this team instantly becomes more dangerous since they're essentially a 8 man roster right now between: LeBron, Luka, Reaves, Ayton, Rui, Smart, Jake, and Hayes. If Ayton/Rui are having a slow game, the Lakers need 100 points from their big 3 to win games...

 

I'm sure Rob has something cooking. We need a POA or wing defender. I hope we get at least 1 of our 2 needs.
