Not saying it's what you're doing. But it seems it's already started.
When Pelinka was hired...people laughed, said the Lakers made a mistake, no one would work with him because of his days as an agent, he didn't know anything about being a GM, Magic slammed him on his way out the door and basically blamed him for why he was leaving, etc., etc.
Now it's, well you have Lebron and AD and it's LA, so it's not like he had a tough sell.
The man put together a roster last year that people said couldn't win a title because the role players and bench were weak. They won a title anyway.
Now, despite not having much cap space or assets, he managed to improve the roster and not only increase their chances of a repeat, but probably makes them solid favorites.
Maybe we can just say he's done a very good job and leave it at that?
He has done a very good job.
But let’s not anoint him an elite GM is all I am saying. The playing field isn’t exactly level.
