Rob Pelinka and Denver Nuggets restricted free agent Peyton Watson having a very friendly conversation during the Lakers Summer League game in Las Vegas.
Pelinka introduced his daughter and Watson said goodbye to her at the end. Good stuff.
There’s still not enough money in the Lakers banana stand.
How about a player option?
What about pg13 and some picks?
How about an injured AD and a single pick?
My friend ball called , he said you know him?
Not positive if Pelinka knows teams do not have to include those in contract offers
What about a double dipped banana with extra nuts?
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas
You should call this a GOB, guy.
TT, Shump and Nets pick? >!we actually have Nets pick on the roster!<
Wow never noticed Pelinka’s height, he’s 6’6”? If the 3 contracts are too much to build around, why dont the lakers simply put him in the corner for catch and shoots?
He was on the Fab Five Michigan team
He was the 7th guy on the fab 5 team. Hot a few big 3s in the final 4 games in 93 iirc
Gonna need Watson to plant some trees
Or….not? Right?
Surely Watson is better than Kuminga right? Did Pelinka just think Watson is too expensive for the lakers?
Damn Pelinka is tall
“if only you were a few shades lighter”
I feel like convo went like “don’t worry, it’ll all work out”
wow we’re getting watson for vando, knecht and a second round pick /s
Man
Can’t imagine being so famous that every time you speak to someone in public it becomes some narrative
Agree, that would suck
That said, this is summer league where the first few days everyone is out there and the most locked in fans are also there with a lot of down time
Hope this is Pelinkas last summer league as the Lakers GM
Before anyone asks, no they can’t sign him to a 25M offer sheet nor initiate a sign and trade
…yet
Just need to convince Denver Vando is the missing piece. Where’s Nico when you need him
Watson has superstar aura
How can he have superstar aura? He’s not a superstar. People really be throwing 3 words they now into everything these days.
His looks, the way he carries himself, his walk all scream superstar
Wtf does that mean? He just a tall dude.
Then why isn’t he a superstar?
yet
That’s just how black people carries themselves, no?
