Pelinka: Laker's designed to combat Warriors
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Saying that the Los Angeles Lakers didn't want to fall into "the trap" of trying to beat the Golden State Warriors at their own offensively loaded game, general manager Rob Pelinka said the Lakers' goal in free agency was to purposely build a team "very differently than the past ones" surrounding LeBron James.
Magic Johnson had to wait an hour in his car outside LeBron James' California home on June 30 after arriving early for their meeting when free agency started that evening. Johnson recounted details of the meeting on Spectrum SportsNet.
