The Los Angeles Lakers are having a miserable season. Miserable could be an understatement with the way the Los Angeles Lakers are playing right now. With their current record, the Los Angeles Lakers are once again on pace for a losing record for the fourth straight season. It's not only on the hard court that the Los Angeles Lakers are in turmoil. Off the court it's probably even worse. The Los Angeles Lakers front office are in the midst of a tug of war for power and control over the team, with part owner and current President of the Los Angeles Lakers Jeanie Buss going up against her older brothers Johnny Buss and Jim Buss. Despite all the turmoil, the Los Angeles Lakers are slowly moving on. Rob Pelinka. Kobe Bryant's agent, was hired as the new General Manager of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Rob Pelinka was officially announced as the new General Manager of the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, according to a report from ESPN. A press conference is scheduled on Friday to formally introduce Rob Pelinka. Kobe Bryant congratulated Rob Pelinka via Twitter after the announcement was made.
"No one knows the business of basketball more than @robpelinka. I wish him & the Lakers much success as they bring winning basketball back to LA.", Kobe Bryant tweeted.
The hiring of Rob Pelinka may seem like precursor of things to come for the revamped front office of the Los Angeles Lakers. It's no secret that Magic Johnson, the newly hired President of Basketball Operations, wants to bring back Kobe Bryant to the Los Angeles Lakers front office, via the Bleacher Report. Magic Johnson's hiring of Rob Pelinka is seen as the first step in bringing back Kobe Bryant.
During an interview last month, Magic Johnson was asked on what he would do he were in a position of power with the Los Angeles Lakers. Magic Johnson responded that he'd call Kobe Bryant. With Rob Pelinka as the recent hire of the Los Angeles Lakers, don't be surprised to see Kobe Bryant back with the Los Angeles Lakers.
