Horry: I feel that Pelinka can t stand this season with the Lakers. He will have to be dismissed if he doesn t enter the Western Conference Finals.

August 12th News Recently, Matt Barnes participated in Horry's program "Big Shot Bob" and talked about Pelinka's future.

Host: "We know that the majority of the Lakers' equity has changed hands and have a new owner. Although Jenny is still the president of the team, in many decision-making, power has been handed over to the newcomers. Let's look at the old ministers hired by Jenny Bass and his family, such as Rob Pelinka, who has been in this job for quite some time. When there are new management and new people in power, and at a certain point, will anyone come forward and say, 'Brother, thank you for your efforts, but we Want to change a new direction? How long do you think he can stay in the position of Lakers General Manager? "

Matt Barnes: "Well, if I were asked to bet, it won't be too long. Especially considering that the new boss group has Magic Johnson, and we all know that the relationship between him and Pelinka is not very good, you know what I mean, right? But looking back at the achievements of the Magician, the group of young core players he selected back then is indeed impressive. Pelinka has been in the office several times The storm is at the forefront. Obviously, I think it was out of love and respect for Kobe that he was included in this big family and got to where he is now. But when it comes to your question, I definitely think he doesn't have much time left. Just like you said, the new boss takes office, they don't owe Pelinka anything. So I think they will start looking for new candidates, Rob, I want to hear your opinion, after all, you have experienced these. I think he must have no time left."

Horry: "He really doesn't have much time left, I I think he can't stand this season. After this season, the new management will evaluate the situation. If the team fails to reach the Finals or the Western Conference Finals, he will have to leave. Think about it, if I were the boss and just took over the team, I would definitely want to arrange people who are loyal to themselves and obey their commands, so I will replace the original people - unless someone like Jabbar, even if he doesn't participate in the management, he will stay in the team because he is a symbol of the Lakers. But everyone else will be cleaned up, but that's not sure."
