Is the team's GM safe?
The Los Angeles Lakers' failure to lure University of Connecticut Huskies head coach Dan Hurley away from the two-time NCAA champions marks the second very public embarrassment for team president Rob Pelinka during a botched head coaching hire attempt. He had also failed to bring in either of his top two choices during the summer of 2019, Tyronn Lue or Monty Williams, after apparent money negotiations stalled out talks. Frank Vogel, the third choice, was brought in and instantly won a title.
So is Rob Pelinka, now overseeing his fourth head coaching hire since 2016, at risk of losing his job?, he is indeed quite safe, in part because he did put together that Vogel-coached 2020 title team. Los Angeles is primarily looking to make this major head coaching move, and isn't thinking about Pelinka at this time.
