if Pelinka told them no- Hield would be a laker.lol
Dude, I don't know how to make it any clearer. This was Lebron's deal. The Lakers had a trade set up for Hield.
You still haven't named a single GM who wouldn't have done what the Lakers did.
And no, you are absolutely not right. I don't know why you are so dead set on absolving Lebron in this. Literally every local and national reporter has been talking about how this is Lebron's mess and the Lakers have told him it's his mess and they're not mortgaging the rest of their future to bail him out.
If Lebron and AD hadn't gone to Pelinka and insisted on Westbrook...Hield would be a Laker.
Davis and LeBron were under contract. What would they have done? not played? lol.
cmon now.
plus- Caruso is gone because of the Lakers failure to spend.
As I said- LeBron is never going to own up and take any blame for any bad moves. He is always going to say "well im not the GM". The GM and ownership is where the buck stops.
and if you want to blame LeBron---- sure- blame LeBron- but you are really blaming the Buss family for turning over control of the franchise to him.
