On May 2, Pelinka s latest interview revealed that it involves 3 points, and there is still a hidden danger for the Lakers to win the championship next season

After the Lakers were eliminated by the Timberwolves 1:4, the team officially started the offseason. Looking back at the Lakers' performance this season, there are many things to be praised, such as Doncic, the West entered the playoffs for third place, and won 50+ regular season wins again, etc. There are also many things to improve. In the early morning of the 2nd, the team's general manager Pelinka was interviewed by the media. When talking about the offseason, he talked about these three points -

First of talking about the offseason goals, Pelinka said: I know the team needs a center. Now the center is diverse, and there are centers who can open up space and guard the penalty area. I will not limit my target range, but I will definitely strengthen the center position.

This is indeed the point that the Lakers need to solve the most. This season, the Lakers' shortcomings in the inside are particularly targeted by their opponents in the regular season and the playoffs. Finding an excellent inside is an urgent problem for the Lakers.

Secondly, we also talked about the team's core team building next season. Although the Lakers were almost swept out 1:4 in the first round this season, Pelinka made it clear in an interview that he would continue to build the team next season with James, Doncic and Rivers as the core team. Although the three have had some ups and downs in the past few months, Pelinka is determined to succeed together.

Finally, Pelinka also talked about James, and said: I think James has high expectations for the lineup next season, and I will do my best to satisfy him. Currently, among the players in the Lakers lineup who still have contracts next season, in addition to the triple core, there are Hachimura Ai, Vincent, Van derby, Kleber, Kneckett, Milton and Brownie. The team has a lot of room to improve the team's lineup. In addition, in an interview, Pelinka also said that there will be many transactions in the player market this summer, and the Lakers have many opportunities to strengthen their positions.

However, Pelinka's decision will bring hidden dangers, which is Redick's coaching problem. It is likely that Redick will continue to serve as head coach next season. Although Redick leads the Lakers to the third place in the Western Conference this season is commendable, the shortcomings such as employment problems and lack of experience shown in the playoffs have been exposed. Even if the Lakers enter the playoffs again next season, this is still a hidden danger that cannot be ignored.
