Pelinka is preaching continuity and how the Lakers can benefit from keeping their core together in an interview with ESPN 710 Los Angeles:
“Listen, continuity is an ingredient in sports that is always successful. If you look at sort of sustainable championship teams, there is continuity at the center of it. So that’s an ingredient that we strive for. That said, we’re not gonna settle into continuity or not looking for ways to improve our roster. But that will be through a lens and sort of making sure that is we do something, it’s super smart for both the now and the long-term. That’s a tight rope to balance on.”
The biggest positive in pursuing continuity is finding a head coach with the ability to optimize LeBron and AD while building for the future. JJ Redick is the key to Lakers ownership and management beging able to be successful. He has the vision Rob and Jeanie don’t.
As I said during last Saturday’s Lakers Fast Break Podcast, there is hope that the Lakers plans for continuity could signal a smart move by Pelinka and Buss. How big a difference does the head coach make? We’re about to find out and I suspect the difference will be dramaticly in the positive.
