The importance of good role players can never be underestimated for a team in the NBA. If you think that’s not the case, just ask the Los Angeles Lakers about it. With less than 25 games left in the 2022-23 regular season, the Lakers have struggled quite a lot to win games.
While they do have the superstar duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis on their roster, the lack of a good supporting cast was felt by most fans throughout the season.
As a result, fans urged the Lakers’ general manager Rob Pelinka to make a few trades and get some genuine help around Davis and James. Well, Pelinka headed those cries for help around the NBA Trade Deadline when he made a couple of trades with the consultation of James and Davis.
Anthony Davis’ Token Of Thank You To Rob Pelinka
The Los Angeles Lakers recently locked horns with the New Orleans Pelicans in a crucial game for the team. Led by Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the Lakers never let the Pelicans have a chance of winning the game and registered a satisfying 120-102 victory.
After the game, a clip of Anthony Davis hugging Rob Pelinka went viral on social media. Looking at the short video, most assumed that AD was thanking Pelinka for finally surrounding him with quality role players.

It was a must-needed win for the Lakers, and they have improved their record to 27-32. The Lakers are still 13th in the Western Conference, but with the new-look roster of the organization, there is hope that they can climb a few spots on the table.
But at the same time, it will be an uphill battle for the team. Putting together a winning streak will not be an easy task for the Anthony Davis and LeBron James-led team.
