Rob Pelinka is officially on the clock.
With LeBron James’s decision to leave the Lakers, the team’s general manager can now deliver on his promise to build a championship contender around Luka Dončić. That’s a goal he made clear after acquiring the star guard from the Mavericks last year. Pelinka is armed with a boatload of cap space, and James is out the door. The time is now, and if Pelinka fails, his time may be up.
