Amick Rob Pelinka and the Los Angeles Lakers are unlikely to make a trade before Thursdays NBA Trade Deadline

Lakers GM Rob Pelinka on the trade deadline I would say we were aggressive And one form of being aggressive is saying no thats like being aggressive even though you end up doing nothing because its hard to say no sometimes to getting a good player
