It appears Rob Pelinka wasn't on the same page as LeBron James and Anthony Davis as the NBA trade deadline approached.
The Los Angeles Lakers general manager told reporters Thursday that the star duo was consulted on potential moves and aligned with him on standing pat.
However, that apparently wasn't the case.
"Totally false," a source told ESPN's Dave McMenamin. "There was no conversation between Rob Pelinka, LeBron, and Anthony Davis on Thursday. There was no go-ahead of an okay to have inaction at the deadline."
Despite having limited trade assets, Los Angeles was involved in numerous trade rumors leading up to Thursday's 3 p.m. ET cutoff. The Lakers opted not to act on any of the reported trade proposals. They can now only add to their roster through the buyout market.
Los Angeles sits ninth in the Western Conference with a 26-30 mark. The team has dropped seven of its past 10 games.
