“Steph Not Gonna Like That”: Warriors Community Demand Lakers Rookie’s Signature as Rob Pelinka Makes Roster Decision

The Los Angeles Lakers are making moves, and not everyone is thrilled about their latest decision. According to ESPN, the Lakers plan to waive rookie Quincy Olivari to make room for former Pelicans center Trey Jemison on a two-way contract. Jemison brings much-needed frontcourt depth, with career averages of 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 41 NBA games.

While the Lakers prioritize size and physicality, Warriors fans see this as an opportunity. Many have taken to social media, urging their team to grab Olivari, whose promising preseason performances showcased his potential as a shooter. “Steph not gonna like that,” one fan joked, imagining Olivari lighting it up in Golden State.

With Jemison stepping in and Olivari now available, it’ll be interesting to see if another team, like the Warriors, seizes the chance to add the undrafted rookie to their roster.
