Los Angeles Lakers fans are losing their minds on Twitter after Buddy Hield was traded by the Kings to the Pacers.Ā
Is Rob Pelinka aware that the Los Angeles Lakers are currently in ninth place of the Western Conference standings and on the outside looking in for the playoffs? Thatās what fans want to know, as the team hasnāt been busy ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
On Tuesday, more hearts were broken in LA after the Sacramento Kings traded Buddy Hield, Tyrese Haliburton and Tristan Thompson to the Pacers.
Lakers fans furious the team missed out on Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton
Pelinka couldnāt get creative and pull something off here? Lakers fans had been hoping that the team could be aggressive and bring in some top talent to help this team get back on track. While injuries have hurt the Lakers this season, thereās no excuse for them being 26-28 entering the showdown with the Bucks on Tuesday.
While the majority of Lakers supporters are upset Hield and Haliburton are headed to Indiana, people are still holding out hope that the Pacers will turn around and send him to LA before the deadline. Thatās wishful thinking.
Right now, itās looking like the Lakers have missed out on improving the roster once again. The frustration is only going to keep growing for the fanbase.
Weāll have to wait and see what Pelinka has to say once the deadline arrives, but thereās loads of people who are not happy with him. Heās got some serious explaining to do.
The truth to the matter is that the Lakers donāt have nearly as many assets as some teams in the Association to trade. Because of this, theyāre the odd team out.
