The NBA trade deadline has passed, but Lakers GM Rob Pelinka is trying to cut a deal of his own in Newport Beach. He just listed his custom home of over a decade for $3.95 million.
Pelinka, who worked as an NBA agent before joining the Lakers in 2017, paid $2 million for the property in 2009, records show. It’s a few miles from the Newport Coast home of the late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, a longtime client of Pelinka.
He made some aesthetic changes during his stay, turning the tan exterior white and adding modern lighting fixtures in living spaces where features include distressed beams, limestone fireplaces, wrought-iron accents and floors of stone and pecan wood.
