Lakers reportedly sign general manager Rob Pelinka to extension

The Los Angeles Lakers feel good about the team’s direction moving forward. The team reportedly agreed to a contract extension with general manager Rob Pelinka on Friday, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The move comes months after Pelinka pulled off a trade for Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić. With Dončić — and LeBron James — in tow, the Lakers went 19-13 down the stretch to secure the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Pelinka was hired by the team in 2017, and has served as its general manager since that season.
