If the first time you heard Mark Williams name was a few days ago then you don’t watch basketball It’s our job as lakers fans to keep the trade machine warmed up with every center possible. We’ve been putting C’s in the trade machine for years now since we’ve needed one for SO LONG Regardless, who wouldn’t be excited about a 23 yr old former ACC DPOY who’s 7’2 in shoes & has a 9’9 standing reach who’s been averaging 21.6 pts 13.0 reb over his last 9 games

@LegionHoops @BasketNews_com You better mean Maxi or Markieff STAY AWAY FROM MY FRANCHISE PLAYER

Didn’t we smack the Knicks around with no AD & Hayes being the starting C? Same with the Clips? It’s asinine to think the difference between us being title contenders & not was Mark Williams. Cuz surely you know that Hayes is a better defender than Mark right? Williams allowed players to shoot 2.4% BETTER around the rim. AD had 42/23 against him. Mark was only going to help our already explosive offense & rebounding.

This is how we know you guys don’t know shit about basketball We tell you guys constantly that we have assets & good players Y’all are always like WHUT ASSETS!? 🥴 Max Christie BEEN ballin. This is not some new revelation. And if it is you’re way behind One reason we fired ham…he planted max on the bench all last year with DNP’s. We knew the talent he had. He’s a shooting guard that can shoot and guard. Welcome to the party if you’re late

@AChad92 @SubhashPandu4 I’m cool to not make a trade with CHA again

@IKBarberShop @Klutch_23 And Dallas considering they have Anthony Davis at the 4 with Gafford & Lively playing C.

@BallsackSports @LegionHoops What an idiotic take You don’t get to the NBA without working your ass off You don’t stay in the NBA without working your ass off You don’t become a superstar without working your ass off These people live breathe eat sleep basketball

Could have kept AD? So…not trading for Luka at all is about the dumbest shit I’ve heard on this app. We didn’t have a future with a 34 yr old AD after Bron retires. Also, Pelinka TRIED to get Duren. Google it. He talked to DET. Last time I checked you weren’t complaining when the trade happened.

@real_Bron23 @NOTMARCOMILLER @Klutch_23 @hornets Acting like Rob didn’t gaslight Nico into accepting JUST AD & Max + ONE first. DAL could have gotten A LOT more for Luka. But Rob not only stood his ground & sold Nico on AD & Max being enough, he also sold Nico that 1 FRP was enough.

@CityofAngelsLAL @A_Riggo24 @NOTMARCOMILLER @Klutch_23 @hornets They don’t pay attention to shit Acting like Rob didn’t gaslight Nico into accepting JUST AD & Max + ONE first.

@shaqdaddy4020 @SamQuinnCBS Trevor Lane was saying that & it’s definitely a possibility Guess we will see. Something tells me though that this will all be a blessing in disguise come this summer.

All I wanted to do was enjoy this win

@SamQuinnCBS Yea that’s not bad news at all 😭 If anything, teams saw what LA gave up for Williams so they’ll definitely be hitting us up in the summer

Bismack Biyombo And what sucks is he just signed a 10 day contract with SA If they don’t resign him just get him. At this point I only fear teams with dominant big men. So let’s just use him when we play DEN & other games we continue to dominate the way we have been. Hes by far the best defensive big available

@hornets “After the Lakers aggressively pursued Mark” This makes it even more obvious now Good luck trading with anyone else going forward. I’ll be thanking you this offseason when LA lands a true demon at C. See you soon Kessler‼️

@HoopsTalkBurner @CSmoove_Sports @LALInsiders They said the issues they found had nothing to do with his back

@CoachJoe824 Because CHA knew about this They randomly called us out of nowhere “Hey we heard you need a C so we just wanted to help” The dishonesty. And because it gave us no chance to pivot so we are stuck with Hayes. And because now we might have a disgruntled Dalton.

Myles Turner Sign & Trade? Idk but this does suck Now we have 2 needs this offseason (C & SG) and we still have to resign DFS (bird rights). Kleber would have to be salary dumped though he’s a solid defender at 6’10 LeBron pay cut for sure needed to get to the 14.1m NTPMLE & 5.1m Bi annual

@lastLALRealist @BobbyMarks42 Any other teams fans would be reacting the same way right now if this happened to them And I agree. CHA knew

Homework? Tf is this..school? So all the other teams that made last minute deals “didn’t do their homework?” CHA called US out of nowhere. “Hey we heard you need a C & just wanted to give you a call” There’s 10000 reasons why last minute deals happen & clearly you don’t understand basketball & I’m not gonna explain this to you
