Summary

With 2024-25 Lakers season officially in the books—earlier than most expected—GM Rob Pelinka and head coach JJ Redick met the media Thursday in El Segundo. They covered a lot of ground. From Rob Pelinka: The Lakers had a transformative season, with a lot to be proud of... while still falling short of expectations and goals. He's expecting a lot of movement in the NBA this offseason, and the Lakers will be aggressive reshaping the roster around Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves. They need centers. Definitely need centers. (And a good defensive wing, too.) From JJ Redick: The Lakers need to come back in championship physical condition. While he's not just talking about Luka... he's clearly setting a bar for him. You can't talk about fitness on a Luka team without people making that connection, and Redick knows this. He knows he has room to improve. Where, specifically? That's something we discuss, especially in light of comments made. Thursday by ESPN's Brian Windhorst. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Rob Pelinka and airplaines. SEGMENT 2: Centers. Bring in the centers. SEGMENT 3: Where JJ low-key failed. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
