Chris Broussard said LeBron James deserves no blame for the Lakers’ struggles: “Rob Pelinka is the general manager.”

Even with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled to stay afloat in the Western Conference.

At 16-18 this season, they have performed well below expectations and there is no indication that things will get better.

In the midst of the situation, fans searched for people to blame and LeBron James was an easy choice.

But, according to Chris Broussard, the fault should actually lie with Rob Pelinka.

We all know LeBron wanted Russell Westbrook over Buddy Hield and we all know Westbrook is not a good choice. But he is blamed more than he should be. It was not as horrible and horrible as everyone says it is. And even if they didn’t have Westbrook and Buddy Hield I guess Anthony Davis would still be hurt, I guess Carmelo, Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, DeAndre Jordan and so many others would still be old. So even if they had Hield instead of Westbrook, they would still have issues.

Now in Westbrook. Accessories to LeBron to have so much juice, but if you’re the GM, make the call. LeBron is under contract, he’s not going anywhere. If you wanted Buddy Hield, swap for Buddy Hield. Rob Pelinka is the Managing Director. If you let a player make the moves, say “Go get this guy instead of this guy”, then it’s your turn. You should have lowered your foot if you thought he was in a much better position … “
