I was asked that in this era of guards ruling the league, the Lakers’ ball handlers are all frontcourt
As a player, Pelinka said: “This is a good question. I think the league has entered the era of guards. If you look at the West, I can’t talk about specific players from other teams, but if you look at those in the West who have the strength to compete.
The teams in the playoffs, the Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Rockets and Warriors, all have a great backcourt combination. We still have a player roster left. When the training camp starts or the season starts, we will take a look at the team
What is the need, I am sure that as the season progresses, if the team has no hope of the playoffs, many experienced players will seek to trade or buy out. We will reserve the last spot and wait for the opportunity to arise.”
The Lakers’ current roster is as follows:
Backcourt: Rondo, Danny Green, Bradley, Pope, Cook, Caruso, Daniels, Zach Lovell (two-way contract) and Tucker.
Frontcourt: James, Davis, McGee, Cousins, Dudley and Kuzma.
