The Lakers, following the trade for Luka Dončić, are confronted with an incomplete roster, as admitted by VP of basketball operations Rob Pelinka. He emphasized the importance of having a big man but noted the difficulty due to a limited market. Pelinka expressed that their pursuit of centers has been ongoing and clarified that potential strong trade opportunities are scarce. He indicated that meaningful additions might not happen until the offseason, while they will explore any margin adjustments necessary to complete the team.
"We know that our roster has continued work to do to become complete," Pelinka said. "We know that we have a need for a big."
"If there's not a championship big on the market right now, I can't wave a wand and create that opportunity," Pelinka said. "We'll continue to work and look for areas we can complete."
