So how good a GM is Rob Pelinka?There are very few questions you could ask of Lakers fans, and Lakers media, over the last few years and receive a wider variety of answers, depending on the date. The swings here are massive. On the one hand, he's won a title! On the other, he completely destroyed a season-and-a-half with the Russell Westbrook trade, and made a bunch of other technical errors that have cost the Lakers over the last few years.But then again, the man completely rescued the team from the h-e-double hockey sticks in which he put it at the trade deadline, reforming the roster and forming a group that reached the Western Conference Finals. This summer, he did good work maintaining the roster and adding a little more balance. There was no big swing for a shiny object, no upheaval to try and add another star.On the other hand... there really weren't any stars to go get. Not without jumping through so many hoops and performing so many surgeries on the roster that the result simply wouldn't have been viable. Nobody, save perhaps Kyrie Irving, thought this was a good idea, and therefore it wasn't seriously entertained.So is Rob Pelinka a good GM?That's the question put to Harrison Faigen of SB Nation (and the head honcho at Silver Screen and Roll).Plus, we talk about snacks and Anthony Davis, and where the Lakers fit in with other teams in the Western Conference. Behind the Nuggets, sure, but then what?HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest, Harrison Faigen)SEGMENT 1: Is Rob Pelinka a good GM?SEGMENT 2: Rob gets credit for this summer, but how much confidence should it give fans?SEGMENT 3: Snacks and standings (predictions)!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNBA or enter promo code LOCKEDONNBA for a free white tech hat with any purchase.
