Lakers GM Rob Pelinka: We don't see next year at all as a rebuilding year

Los Angeles Lakers new general manager Rob Pelinka said that next season won’t be another rebuilding year for the organization.

Per ESPN, during his opening statement while introducing new center Brook Lopez on Wednesday, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka made a comment that raised eyebrows.

"We don't see next year at all as a rebuilding year," Pelinka said at the team's practice facility. "We see it as a Lakers year. A lot of that is going to be centered around [Lopez] and what he stands for and what we know he'll give this organization."
