I know it’s not going to happen but Pelinka has got himself painted into a terrible corner and his lack of vision and fear of making another Westbrook mistake have paralyzed the Lakers at a critical moment in time when their future success is at risk.
There are only Westbrook deals to be made – those that’ll make the team worse. Trading what little assets and quality players they have for either a failed max guy like Lavine or Young or slightly better role players doesn’t move the needle for this squad. Rob made his bed when he acquiesced to the guys who should’ve stayed away from personnel decisions and the Westbrook trade. That’s what killed any chances for success in Lebron’s still productive, post-prime playing days. Between that and the new CBA rules, there’s no recovery without a rebuild. Sorry. It’s over. This team is light years away.
