Rui, Austin, and DLOThis series would be 1-2 minimum if the role players performed up to their expectations....Dlo once again has folded against quality competition.
Massively disappointing (Reaves has done a decent job of Murray)

i don’t think people understood that certain people on this forum were of the mindset to face the Nuggets when everyone was hot and healthy, rather than after long playoff series
Lakers had won like 12 out of 15 heading into the playoffs.. just so happens that the role players have fallen on their face
Dude is such a ponzi scheme clownThis series would be 1-2 minimum if the role players performed up to their expectations....Dlo once again has folded against quality competition.
Rui and Austin played GREAT in the series against Denver last year. I thought it was lofty for them to match that production, but it was certainly in the ballpark that they come close"just so happens" huh
Pelinka has no clue about anything.Problem with the lakers
Pelinka has no clue about drafting young talent and jeanie blessed her heart will throw money towards players who are close to being washed up

This is horrific when you actually put it all together like this.. Lakers actually got lucky with their 2020 roster, if we remember it was a last second haul after Kawhi scorned the Lakers later in FAPelinka has no clue about anything.
Grade all the areas
Free agents:
Signed: Gabe Vincent, Montrezl Harrell, Kedrick Nunn, Christian Wood, Cam Reddish, Ariza etc
In the summer of 2021 Pelinka signed every player in the league n
Let walk: Brook Lopez, Dwight Howard, Caruso, Lonnie Walker, Dennis Schroeder
Draft
JHS was his pick. The scouts wanted Cam. He overrode them.
Trades
Westbrook for KCP, Kuz, Harrel and a first round pick
Zubac for for some scrub
DLO, vando and Beasley for Westbrook and a first round pick.
AD trade. AD made it clear he was only willing to go to the Lakers. So Pelinka wasnt competing against any other gm. And he still overpaid for him.
Coaching
Vogel
Ham
Mind you he passed on Ty Lue who is universally considered a top 3 coach in the NBA.
That's what I can remember.
He gets a D in every category.
That's the worst resume of any GM in the league.
More than Dlo?I blame Rui than anyone for this series loss. If he could get some contested rebounds and play decent defense he would be able to neutralize some of what Gordon brings
I blame Rui than anyone for this series loss.
More than Dlo?
Or Hamas?
I get Rui has been ass but more than those 2?!!
ok yall got it
Problem with the lakers
Pelinka has no clue about drafting young talent and jeanie blessed her heart will throw money towards players who are close to being washed up
The issue again is that they gave all those players away for essentially nothing.Another lie
Our picks since Pelinka after the obvious lotto picks:
Kuzma: 27th
Josh Hart: 30th
Thomas Bryant: 42
Wagner: 25
Bonga: 39
Svi: 47th
THT:46
Max Christie: 35
JHS: 17
You can question the development but that’s not on him. But they’ve gotten a better return on their picks compared to most teams that draft in their range.
You guys hate Pelinka so much that you don’t even understand that drafting is actually his strongest suit lmao.
