Serious question. AD came because of Bron and Luka fell on his lap. He has done absolutely nothing. How is this guy GM of the **** Lakers?

Luka didn't fall into his lap. He spent years in multiple industries grooming Nico for that trade. Don't disrespect the work he put in on that one.

Honestly Luka for only one draft pick and an injury prone superstar will forever be the craziest trade I have witnessed. Clearly he has influence to pull off heists. Just hire someone else to help actually build the roster :lol:

During Kobe's decline and after retirement, for 4 seasons, the Lakers had ZERO stars.

Now Pelinka is connected with:

Bron
AD
Luka

And all of a sudden its all luck, lol...

He didn’t put in any work to get any of them. Get real. LeBron was coming to the Lakers no matter who was there.

he will buy out OKC, Den and Cavs so that no matter who wins next year he will be the ultimate winner.

The Lakers wouldn't have Luka without Pelinka according to the narrative that has been out there. Supposedly, Nico agreed to trade Luka to the Lakers because he and Pelinka are good friends.

He got Luka.
He can do whatever he wants or in this case do nothing and be safe for some reason

Sit by the phone and wait for a Nico Harrison phone call

They got Luka for peanuts and basically have him committed long term. It’s all gravy from here they aren’t on Lebron’s selfish fan’s timeline

So people should get credit for their friends being idiots?
