One former Lakers player slammed Rob Pelinka for breaking up the 2020 team.
When the Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 NBA title, everything seemed to be going right with the future of the team. They had stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis working well together, surrounded by a collection of very solid role players.
Even without the NBA bubble, the Lakers were one of the best teams in the NBA prior to the shutdown. Los Angeles had depth at all positions but Pelinka believed that an upgrade was needed.“After we won, they started tweaking the roster. I’mma tell you who it was— Rob Pelinka, man. God, Rob, why did you do that to us, man? Rob, come on, man. I still love you, Rob, but dang, man. We had the squad, bro. Even if we ran it back, we could have run it back.
Many wanted the Lakers to run things back or at least bring back the majority of the core in place. Pelinka and the front office had other ideas.
