Live broadcast on July 7th recently, the general manager of the Lakers, Pelinka, was interviewed and talked about the operation of the Lakers in the free market this summer.
Pelinka said: “before the end of last season’s trading, we had” pre-operated “this year’s free market and planned to implement it in July this year. At that time, you didn’t know how things would develop, but the previous deal made us enter the division finals. Now we have to continue to build a lineup around the continuity of the team, add something to make us better. We carried out our own plan, retained some players and introduced some newcomers at the same time.”
“There are some players who want to stay in the Lakers. We thank the players for their experience here last season and the idea of staying here, which has brought great help to our initial operation in the free market. Our first call was to Reeves at three o’clock in the afternoon. We got in touch with his agent and he told us that after the end of last season, Reeves wanted to stay with the Lakers very much. This is very important to us, and the team also respects his efforts in this process. We really want to renew the contract with him, and we are very happy to sign him back.”
