Lakers’ Rob Pelinka gets warning about job entering 2026-2027 NBA season
Should Pelinka be concerned?
Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka has faced criticism for the team's inability to assemble a competitive roster under LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Pelinka's performance has been questioned due to the team's struggles in acquiring above-average three-and-D wings and a center to complement Doncic.
Analyst Bill Simmons suggests that while Pelinka is not in immediate danger, he might be considered for termination by the end of the 2026-2027 NBA season or sooner. The Lakers have limited resources to work with, and some of their past deals could be attributed to Pelinka's decision-making.
