He hardly ever makes in season trades. That isn't surprising. And it's probably a good thing he didn't trade for anyone. He probably would have made the roster even worse than it already is.
You know a player that would have been perfect for us? Jaden McDaniels. Easily one of the best perimeter defenders in the league today. But good Ole Rob Pelinka traded him away to the Wolves.
He didn’t give away Jaden McDaniels. He gave away the pick that ended up for him for Dennis Schroeder. It was a move that was universally praised and pre LeBron injury, we were the best team in the league and better than our Covid season. This is what I mean when I say hindsight is 20/20. Y’all(don’t mean you in particular) love the moves he does until they backfire and then it’s he’s the worst GM. Never forget the majority of this fanbase wanted to trade first rounders for John Wall(including Klutch who were pushing for it).
The only bad move was letting Caruso go. Y’all complain about non moves but we have multiple GMs and owners on and off the record admitting there is a Laker tax or downright refusing to trade their players there.
Then you have a big subset of this forum wanting them to trade every pick left for whoever cause they have no intention whatsoever to support this team post LeBron retirement.
