With 2024-25 Lakers season officially in the books—earlier than most expected—GM Rob Pelinka and head coach JJ Redick met the media Thursday in El Segundo.

They covered a lot of ground.

From Rob Pelinka:

• The Lakers had a transformative season, with a lot to be proud of... while still falling short of expectations and goals.
• He's expecting a lot of movement in the NBA this offseason, and the Lakers will be aggressive reshaping the roster around Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves.
• They need centers. Definitely need centers. (And a good defensive wing, too.)

From JJ Redick:

• The Lakers need to come back in championship physical condition. While he's not just talking about Luka... he's clearly setting a bar for him. You can't talk about fitness on a Luka team without people making that connection, and Redick knows this.
• He knows he has room to improve.

Where, specifically? That's something we discuss, especially in light of comments made. Thursday by ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
