The trade came as a shock to pretty much everyone in the NBA world, and Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka had the perfect word to describe the significance of the Doncic move: Seismic.

Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison almost certainly agree on a key fact: their mutual late friend Kobe Bryant would’ve wanted Luka Doncic in L.A. So they pulled the strings to get him there.

Pelinka and Dončić spoke to the media, and while this trade is seismic, the Lakers general manager hinted he may not done bolstering the roster; he can't be. The Lakers have no center to go along with his roster, and Pelinka said what he and the brass must do to complete this roster by Thursday.
