"We want to build sustainable Lakers excellence... we would do a trade with both picks if it led to sustainable Lakers excellence." R.Pelinka's statement reveals the franchise's ambivalence about trading for immediate success versus future potential. However, it raises concerns due to the repeated emphasis without any actionable results on the court. The Lakers have been in mediocrity, unable to achieve a 50-win season in the last three years. Without clear action or direction, such rhetoric becomes increasingly frustrating for fans and analysts alike.
"After about 30 games, we will know how far we are from title contention." This indicates that the Lakers have set a timeline for assessing their competitive status. However, this vague timeline seems to perpetuate the inconsistent decisions made by Pelinka, leaving fans wondering if there will be urgency in making necessary changes as the season progresses.
