Kobe s biggest failure! Recommending Pelinka as general manager, the Lakers recruitment is entirely due to James and Dongzi

On July 20, according to shams, the Lakers and former Celtic player Smart reached a two-year and $11 million contract. He then explained again that the reason why the Lakers were able to win Smart was recruited by Doncic. Thinking about this year, whether it was Aiton or Lalavia, they were recruited by Lakers players. So what exactly did Pelinka do?

Just this morning, when I saw the news that Smart joined the Lakers, I suddenly felt that I had misunderstood Pelinka before, and he was not inaction. On the contrary, he was very outstanding. But then, Shams immediately sent a message to clarify that the Lakers were able to get Smart this time, and it was Doncic who recruited this time, so that this signing was achieved.

Looking back, although the Lakers' signings this year are pretty good overall, it seems to have nothing to do with Pelinka. On the contrary, the only thing Pelinka does is to let Finney Smith go, the job is too easy! Not only did he not be able to keep Finney Smith, he privately told the general manager of his team that it was quite serious, and this made Finney Smith go away. Otherwise, although he had signed a four-year contract with the Rockets, he only had two years of guarantee contract, so why couldn't he keep the Lakers?

And so far, Pelinka's record is still 0, to be precise, it is -1. Let's see how these new players from the Lakers come from?

First, let’s talk about Ayton first, why did he come to the Lakers? Because he is in the same class as Doncic and they have a common agent, Ayton can be said to have been recruited by Doncic. Otherwise, with the ability to match zero cards, how could it be possible to win a 16+10 player for $8 million?

Second, Laravia, he came to the Lakers because of Rivers. For some reason, this summer, the two have been practicing football together and have a good relationship, so after Pelinka made a phone call, he came.

Third, Smart, the reason has been mentioned before, and Shams specifically stated that it was Smart who was contacted by Doncic, and Yu Pelinka had little relationship. The role of receiving a card was just to go through the procedures.

Third, Finney Smith, letting him go was the real Pelinka decision, because this matter was too simple, and nothing needed to be done. As long as you don’t sign a contract, it’s fine, without saying a word or writing a word, of course it’s very simple.

Another thing Pelinka did this year is to execute Goodwin's team options, so he can only pretend to be in front of players of this level.

Recalling the years before the Lakers, James came to the Lakers after he had negotiated with the Magic. After James came to the Lakers, he also got Davis over because the two of them trained together when they were in the national team, and their private relationship was still very good. It can be said that the deals or signings that were beneficial to the Lakers were not made by Pelinka.

So, what transactions did Pelinka make? It can be said that 90% of the transactions he made are unfavorable to the Lakers.

1. He found Vanderbilt and gave a contract of more than 10 million yuan. He sat on the bench for almost 3 years. He was recuperating for 80% of the time.

2. Vincent, similarly, Pelinka was deceived by the Heat management. After coming to the Lakers, he kept recuperating. He finally waited until he was well, but his condition declined sharply.

3. Westbrook, the moment the deal came to Westbrook, Jenny Buss was so happy that he was almost crying. Unexpectedly, it was this deal that made the Lakers not recover in the past few years. At that time, the Lakers let Pope and Kuzma go, which was equivalent to giving the Nuggets a championship in disguise. If these two people didn't leave, plus James and Davis, they won another championship, it would be no big problem.

4. Let Caruso go. At that time, Pelinka let Caruso go for Tucker. The result was Caruso, helping the Thunder win the championship, while the Lakers did nothing for many years.

5. The draft was not successful once. The No. 17 pick in the previous year, and the No. 17 pick last year, Knector is now in a mess.

I really don't know what Pelinka can do? In recent years, the signings that he really led have basically failed. In addition, they all rely on James. The key issue is that James takes the initiative to recruit, but Pelinka just disagrees. He doesn't want anyone James wants! It's really annoying.

And now, when Doncic is making efforts, Pelinka's current work is very simple, just do nothing, to be precise, nothing can be done. After so many transactions, no one can be negotiated, so he simply lay down and asked Doncic to do this. Who do Doncic want? Let’s talk by yourself, OK, Pelinka stamps a seal and signs it and it’s done. It’s also drunk. Who is the general manager?

So how did Pelinka become the Lakers general manager at that time? I have to ask Kobe about this. Back then, Kobe strongly recommended Pelinka to serve as the Lakers general manager. Now if he thinks about it carefully, did he do it on purpose? Does Pelinka have the ability? Don't he know? He probably knew it, but why did he recommend such a person to the Lakers? This can be said to be the biggest failure in his life!
