Still arching fire? Famously, Kobe Bryant's last big contract was negotiated by Pelinka?
NBA well-known journalist Nick Wright talked about the internal contradictions of the Lakers in recent times in the show. Commenting on the potential conflict between James and Lakers general manager Pelinka, Wright specifically talked about Kobe Bryant's last contract with the Lakers that year.
In the 2014 offseason, Kobe Bryant's contract with the Lakers officially expired. Many people speculate that Kobe Bryant will complete the contract extension with the Lakers, but considering that Kobe Bryant is still recuperating from injuries a season ago, his age is 36 years old, and his ability has declined significantly, and his annual salary will decline significantly. But in the end, Kobe Bryant renewed his contract with the Lakers, and Bryant got a 2-year, total contract of up to $48.5 million. And it was his then-agent Pelinka who helped Kobe succeed in getting the big contract in the final stages of his career. In the summer of 2017, with the escalation of the Lakers' infighting, Pelinka entered the Lakers management as a close confidant of Lakers owner Jenny Bass, and successfully replaced Kupček as the team's new general manager.
Pelinka spent most of her entire career as a professional agent and had nothing to do with team management. And even as an agent, he has a bad track record. At the beginning of Boozer's contract break, he was the initiator of the whole incident, and he was also spurned by many teams across the league. However, such an agent, who is not popular in the entire NBA, has climbed to the top of the Lakers management because of the relationship between Kobe Bryant and Jenny Bass.
This season's Lakers' poor record, Pelinka's lack of operational ability has been greatly exposed, Pelinka for a moment to shake the pot Vogel, a moment to shake the pot James and thick eyebrows, and even put the pot on the head of James's agent Fu Paulo. I have to say that the Lakers are really a family business, and Pelinka is the best representative of the Lakers, he relied on Kobe's face, holding Jenny's thighs to the position, and now he is because of his lack of work, desperately suppressing the stars in the team.
