Rob Pelinka really did Anthony Davis dirty 😭

The Lakers already had the perfect formula in 2020: put real centers like JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard next to AD and let him dominate at the 4.

Instead, they moved away from that, made AD take on more center minutes, and he even bulked up to around 268 pounds to handle the physicality.

All they had to do was give that man a legit center and let him roam defensively, protect the rim, and attack mismatches.

They literally won a championship with that blueprint… then stopped using it 😭

BRO JUST NEEDED A CENTER.
