Dwight Howard holds Rob Pelinka responsible for dismantling the Lakers’ championship team, expressing disappointment that changes were made to the roster instead of keeping the squad together for another run.
Despite his frustration, Howard emphasized that he still cares for Pelinka but believes the team could have repeated their success if they had stayed intact.
“After we won, they started tweaking the roster,” Howard said. “I’mma tell you who it was – Rob Pelinka, man. God, Rob, why did you do that to us, man? Rob, come on, man.
“I still love you, Rob, but dang, man. We had the squad, bro. Even if we ran it back, we could have run it back. We would have been healthier for the next year.”
