   Rob Pelinka’s job is expected to be in danger if the Lakers don’t make a run, per @HeavyOnSports

   “Unless they catch fire in the second half of the year, unless they really come on and make a run in the playoffs, it’s got to be on life support"

   Rob Pelinka made it clear that he and Jeanie Buss will continue running the #Lakers with Mark Walter's support.https://t.co/pg80b4fK65— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) February 9, 2026

   Calling it: he steps down/retires before being fired. If things don't break their way, it'll be – "after winning a championship in 2020, securing luka doncic, and positioning the new lakers executives with max cap space and multiple assets, Rob pelinka is stepping down" blah blah https://t.co/7HUdnsDSiF

   The Los Angeles Lakers have a blueprint for success thanks to Mark Walter and Andrew Friedman… https://t.co/KOyXNkZDYR https://t.co/KhQfcZa53D
