Welcome Rob. I like what I hear. It feels like a new beginning. I am hopeful.

Quote:
“I am beyond grateful to join the Lakers front office,” said Pelinka. “The Lakers are a gold standard for sports franchises in the world, so we all share a responsibility to pursue excellence in everything we do. Excellence is what the Lakers stands for, what Jeanie Buss and Earvin Johnson embody, and what Coach Walton demands from our players. That obsession for greatness is what will bring Lakers basketball back to a championship level. With Jeanie and Magic guiding the vision, I am thrilled to help architect the future. I am really excited to get to work.”

This is legit one of the few things laker wise I've been excited for in a while, this signing and us number 2 in the tank standings so possibly keeping our pick.

Approves?? He got Rob the job. Hopefully Kobe knows what he's talking about, although I have lots of faith in Mamba. He's a sharp kid
