LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be among the candidates in two main categories of this year’s NBA regular season awards.
The Los Angeles Lakers built a contender by trading for Anthony Davis and signing veteran pieces to surround their stars the previous offseason.
However, VP of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka is not among the voting for the Executive of the Year award among those sampled, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
Rob Pelinka traded the young core of the Los Angeles Lakers to the Pelicans last summer to bring Davis in LA, while he made strides in placing valuable rotational pieces, such as Avery Bradley and Danny Green, to surround the superstar duo in order to form a contending team.
