The Los Angeles Lakers probably embodied the biggest disappointment of the 2021-2022 season. Despite the initial ambition to play the NBA title with the trio LeBron James, Anthony Davis et Russell Westbrook, the Californian franchise did not even play the Play-In. A resounding failure for the sports boss of the Angelenos Rob Pelinka.
And under these conditions, the management of the Lakers decided … to reward him! Indeed, the vice-president of Los Angeles signed, during this off-season, an extension of his contract until 2026, selon Yahoo Sports. How can this decision, which is difficult to understand, be justified?
Obviously, the Californian leaders made this choice when the coach was appointed Darvin Ham this summer. Indeed, Pelinka’s contract has been aligned with that of the coach. A way to give visibility to the project.
