Today, Lakers' basketball operations president Pelinka was interviewed.
When asked how to deal with the situation where more than half of the players in the roster this season are in a situation where contracts expired may become free agents next year, Pelinka said: "I prefer the word "Let's go" compared to flexibility. We have all seen the impact of this new labor-management protocol system on teams, and one of the hardest things to deal with is that if you are trapped on the luxury line, you lose the option. We have been very disciplined and purposeful in lineup formation and salary matching, thus retaining the option.
" That being said, I don't think the word "Let's go" applies to the long-term future, it may apply to the present, and if there is a way to operate, we have the option to study it and decide whether it will help our team. That being said, JJ (Redick) and I have a lot of confidence in this roster. I think early in the season we'll realize that some roster demand will appear, and the general rule is that you'll want to see how the team performs through 20 to 25 games, and then you'll start evaluating the roster moves. But we feel good about the choice. At the same time, we really like many players on short-term contracts, and you can use that option to keep those players. We will continue to evaluate. ”
