NBA Observations on the Lakers and the NBA Draft with Stone Hansen!

[@kf4778]

Rob Pelinka's trade decisions in 2018-2019 got the Lakers a 2020 NBA championship. I genuinely don't understand how that's so quickly lost on fans, for a Russell Westbrook trade that AD and Bron asked him to make. How soon we forget. Furthermore, fans were clamoring for him to pull the trigger on Buddy Hield and Myles Turner. This current trade turned out to be much better than that. I'm happy he waited. Rob's alright with me 👍

Thanks so much for watching @KF I think it's because of all the evaluation and roster moves made in the time between the championship and the most recent trade deadline which are at the root of the problem why so many take issue with Rob's performance. And also many have said that just like the Westbrook trade may not be 100% on him (although he did have a final say and ultmately constructed the trade), Magic Johnson had a great deal to do with the moves in 2018-19. So we musn't forget that a great deal of why the Lakers roster was in such dire need of upgrade was due to some poor evaluations in the front office (besides Westbrook) the past two+ seasons.
