Bosh has a previous relationship with Pelinka, hiring him as his agent in November 2016 before Pelinka became the Lakers GM.
Bosh last played an NBA game in February 2016. Health problems forced him to step away from the court.
Although the Miami Heat formally waived Bosh in July, thus making him a free agent, the odds the 33-year-old can return to the league in a playing capacity remain scarce. A medical report commissioned by the NBA and league players' union stated Bosh suffered a career-ending illness resulting from his issues from blood clots.
The Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman reported in June that Bosh could subsequently receive medical approval to play again but that "league executives, however, have indicated a reluctance to take on such a risk."
In an April interview with Larry King (h/t the Miami Herald's Manny Navarro), Bosh indicated a desire to stay around the game of basketball in the right role but sounded reluctant about the idea of coaching in the NBA.
"No, I don't want to coach," Bosh said. "I will always be around the game of basketball. I think, if I do, it would be young minds. But grown men? No. I would not want to do that."
