The Los Angeles Lakers saw their 2024-25 season end in disappointment, as the Minnesota Timberwolves dismissed them in five games during the first round of the playoffs.

In a recent chat with the media, GM Rob Pelinka was open about their approach and explained where their 40-year-old superstar fit into such a critical offseason. The Lakers shocked the basketball world when they acquired Luka Doncic from the Mavericks in a blockbuster trade.

The Los Angeles Lakers had a lot of hype around them entering the 2024-25 season, as a lot of that excitement was built around first-year head coach JJ Redick.

JJ Redick's first season as an NBA coach came to an abrupt end with the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round playoff exit on Wednesday night.

It will be a long offseason in Los Angeles after the Lakers were easily put to rest by the Timberwolves in a five-game playoff series.
