“ROB’S A MENACE”: Lakers fans in stitches after Mark Cuban reveals Rob Pelinka’s snarky behavior in first meeting after Luka Doncic trade 

Less than four weeks after the blockbuster Luka Doncic trade, the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks. Months later, Mark Cuban looked back on that night and revealed a small detail from his encounter with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka.

During the February 25 clash at Crypto.com Arena, Pelinka greeted Cuban in a way that felt more like a playful jab. The minority owner almost seemed as if Pelinka was showing off how the Lakers had come out ahead in the deal.

“When the Mavs played the Lakers after the trade,” Cuban said. “Rob comes up to say hi, and he just gives me that grin, like he’s trying to hold it back.”
