The Los Angeles Lakers are pulling an aggressive strategy for the upcoming NBA season. While Rob Pelinka is strategizing a rebuild around Luka Doncic, the same plan should also work with LeBron James.

Rather than going the slow rebuild route, the Lakers are charging towards a short-term title window. However, some NBA fans do not favor the new trade deadline plan.

On the Lakers Nation podcast, Trevor Lane broke down that insiders within the team anticipate an "aggressive" strategy going into the February trade deadline. Sources indicate that the Lakers are not ready to pull the trigger on trades until they see how the roster is going to function early in the season. If the right opportunity arises, they won't be afraid to go for it.

The endgame is obvious: provide LeBron James and Luka Doncic with the best opportunity to add another banner to Los Angeles.

Fans React with Frustration Over Familiar Promises

Though the Lakers' aggressive approach stimulates some, fans are largely unconvinced. On social media, fans expressed their frustrations, stating they've heard the same promises from general manager Rob Pelinka for years without real outcomes.

Statements such as "Same story every year" and "Rob is zero for a million with this strategy" are signs of the increasing distrust. Some fans claimed that Pelinka should slow down in his plans for LA.

Rebuilding Around Luka Doncic and LeBron James

The Lakers didn't hesitate to surround their new superstar duo with important reinforcements. Marcus Smart's defensive expertise and DeAndre Ayton's interior presence have already made the Lakers a more formidable contender than last year's finish.

But that is not all the Lakers' front office has planned. The organization has indicated that they will assess the roster by the middle of the season and be willing to entertain trades that would improve their championship chances.

Andrew Wiggins Rumors on Hold For Now

According to Fadeaway World, speculation has already connected the Lakers to Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins. But with the team interested in allowing their current roster to coalesce, those rumors will remain dormant until after the first couple of weeks of the season.

Despite heavy criticism from Lakers fans, Rob Pelinka's position appears safe. Reports suggest that as long as Jeanie Buss remains the team's governor, Pelinka's job is secure. Still, if the upcoming season turns into a disaster, it could open the door for his replacement.
