The Los Angeles Lakers have extended their agreement with Rob Pelinka, naming him President of Basketball Operations and General Manager, the team announced Friday.
“For eight seasons, I have relied on Rob’s vision and leadership to do what’s best for the Lakers organization,” said Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss. “I value his partnership and professionalism and believe in his ability to deliver championship-caliber basketball for Los Angeles and Lakers fans everywhere.”
Pelinka joined the Lakers in 2017 as General Manager and was named Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager in 2020.
During Pelinka’s time with the Lakers, the team won their first NBA title in 10 years when they defeated the Heat in the NBA Finals in 2020.
In addition, Pelinka recently engineered a trade that brought five-time All-Star Luka Doncic to Los Angeles.
