Rob Pelinka has been given a contract extension and promoted to president of basketball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, signaling the organization's trust in his leadership. Initially the general manager since 2017 and vice president of basketball operations since 2020, Pelinka's acquisition of Luka Doncic before the trade deadline highlights his impactful decision-making. Co-owner Jeanie Buss praised Pelinka's leadership and vision, reinforcing expectations for championship success as the Lakers prepare for the playoffs after a strong season placing them third in the Western Conference.
Pelinka has been the storied franchise's general manager since 2017, and his role has evolved as he now holds the title of president of basketball operations.
I value his partnership and professionalism and believe in his ability to deliver championship-caliber basketball for Los Angeles and Lakers fans everywhere.
