Pelinka: Trading deadline is tight and cannot explore every possible option to strengthen the inside line

May 2nd News The Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 in the first round of the playoffs and were eliminated. Lakers general manager Pelinka was interviewed at the season summary press conference.

Speaking of mid-season trades, Pelinka said: "We can't discuss specific trade details according to the NBA, but overall, it's clear that our roster needs a larger size and a center. This is an obvious result after the league's best big man trade to Dallas in exchange for a point guard. Of course, this leaves us a huge inside vacancy.

"The trade deadline and its approaching time period do not allow us to have enough time to explore every possible option to strengthen the inside. After the deal with Luca, we really don't have time to do these things. But now we have it. ”
