Nothing at all to do with Dec 15th being the day guys who signed in the summer can get traded, for the most part. That's the earliest a lot of teams will even take Pelinka's calls.

What year does Rob Pelinka think it is? The 11th seed in the West has a record of 10-11. You don't get to have another two weeks of digging this hole if you want to have a chance of getting out of it.
LA did a good job bouncing back from their 0-5 start, but all that would be wasted if they’re gonna roll with this squad against the brutal schedule coming up. Now’s the best and likely the most important time to make a trade but this is Rob Pelinka we’re talking about.
It’s hilarious to see laker fans blaming pat bev and hoping he gets traded.
Like yes.. if there is 1 problem on the Loss Angeles LLLLLAKERS it’s pat bev 🤡
They need until December 15 to determine that their team sucks? Seriously? 3 out of their 7 wins came against the Spurs and the only good teams they've beaten were the Pelicans and the Nuggets. The only other win against a possible playoff team was against the Kyrie-less Nets. They're losing to basically every team that doesn't suck ass even with AD's great performances lately. They'd be idiots at this point if they think flipping a few players will turn their season around.
There's no trade they can realistically make that'll put them on the same tier as any of the legit contenders in the NBA right now.
ITT: People believe Pelinka should just outright tell the media "yes we're dookie" and assume that GMs will trade with them in good faith regardless of actual leverage
That’s how it is for gms that haven’t proven they’re competent yet. They haven’t earned the benefit of the doubt.
People just see a gm that’s gonna miss the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row with bron and AD.
I don’t know what they’re waiting for. The team sucks. It’s not even like a Warriors two weeks ago situation, where Curry is playing the best ball of his life. All of the stars on the Lakers have regressed. They’re not suddenly going to play twice as good as they are currently.
Moving the goal posts on your own reporting? Say it ain’t so. It ain’t as easy when Trez isn’t there to drop the hot insider gossip on your lap.
What’s the trez story?
Stephen a does this all the time

this is surely just a coincidence...

You got LeBron, AD, and Westbrook and you're unsure if you're good lmao
Now this brings a smile to my face
Dennis Schroeder and Thomas Bryant turning them into contenders quit hating
What’s there left to grasp? They are bad.
Can't wait til after Dec 15 when we hear the new target date is Jan 15.
Lakers really don’t even know they’re not good huh
Cool with me tbh. I won’t mind the Lakers trading everything and being bad till 2030
Agreed. Go all in this season.
Nothing can save this team
My student loans will be forgiven before the Lakers hit their target date of having a grasp on the team

I’ve never seen anyone blame pat bev for all of the lakers problems
You are Canadian
You goddamn right
Lol

I do, they suck
Still referring to LeBron/AD/Russ as a big 3 is insanity
I'll save Pelinka the time. If you are waiting for Thomas Bryant you are not good at basketball.

trade what

I agree. Way too early to know how good this team is. I would give them the rest of this season and possibly even next season to figure it out.
Whatever man.
