On February 19, Beijing time, the NBA All-Star Weekend began, and the teams ushered in a short break. Recently, Perkins talked about the current situation of the Lakers when participating in the show: "When it comes to the Lakers, I wanted to blame several players. But I thought about it, and the person who really should be blamed was Pelinka, and he was the culprit! ”
In this regard, Perkins also gave his own reasons, he believes that Pelinka did not do his job well, did not let Zhan Mei decide their lineup; secondly, before the trade deadline, Pelinka did not have any operation in the free market, but declared that the Lakers will focus on buyout market, Perkins bluntly said: "There is no buyout market at all!" All the grocery stores are closed, what do you buy? ”
Speaking of the previous trade deadline, each team has been reinforced in the free market, and the Lakers are indifferent, although they did not send away Westbrook, but they also failed to trade any quality players, Pelinka still insisted on the inherent lineup, and now Davis is injured and truce, and the team's offensive responsibility can only rely on James and Westbrook.
Offseason, Pelinka brought back a group of veteran players for the Lakers, Howard, Anthony and other people joined the Lakers, but also let many fans call youth back, but in fact, the team is facing aging problems, injuries continue, on the whole, Pelinka's reinforcements although for the team to avoid a high luxury tax, but the team's performance this season is difficult to say. In the offseason, the Lakers let go of Caruso, Pop, Kuzma and others, and the team's backline is under great pressure, which is also one of the reasons why the Lakers' defense is not good this season.
Previously, Pelinka said that the team will focus on buying out the market's reinforcements, but in fact, the Lakers' big roster is full, and if they want to sign players, they must choose to lay off. The second is the buyout market, no one wants to join the Lakers, the previously bought out TT has also joined the Bulls, and Dragic has no intention of treating the Lakers as the next home, and today's Lakers can be said to have neither money nor people.
