Yes! This should mean my team won't trade Myles Turner. I don't know how we'll keep him long term but we don't really have a replacement for him right now.
I'm a pretty happy Lakers fan rn, man. We've been terrible at developing talent for the last 30 years or so but it's nice to see them reinforce that reputation as a star destination; we need that. This trade shows Luka they're serious about maximizing his strengths AND it shows Lebron that they're committed to a fitting end for his career. PLUS we get the don on his revenge arc? Dude…
I really have not followed this guy at all. Is this going to be a rob williams 2.0 thing where he just never stays healthy enough or does this guy have a hope of being a piece?
Lousy trade for Hornets, those "picks" will be in the mid 20's at best, unless Mavs are right and Luke is Embiid by then. Williams is younger than Knecht(whos a bench player at best).
Im shocked they didn’t go to Utah with this offer. Would have to match salaries but I couldn’t imagine Ainge would turn this down for say Kessler and Sexton
my dream center for the Lakers was either Kessler and mark Williams tbh I thought those would be unrealistic and always thought the team might end up with vooch or poeltl

Hornets got more for mark williams than mavs did for luka. At least it feels like it
They’re neck and neck with the nuggets. I feel like they did this just so they don’t get steamrolled
Charlotte setting up for a great rebuild. The rebuild after this rebuild will lead to a generational rebuild.
Mark williams is injury prone and a bad defender
2031 pick is like when it was 2019 and we were saying 2025 is so far away so why care about them now

Lmao the hornets actually get some big men and then trade both of them
Win win trade imo!!!

side note: dang, look at that picture asthe video plays. someone teach Luka the meaning.ofbthe word "salad"

Can't believe it man. why didnt they just aim for Lamelo by sending Bronny to the hornets
Not a fan of losing dalton and his high ceiling for this guy thats constantly injured for his age. Things will be very weird
It's so funny that the Hornets managed to get more pics and young players for Mark Williams than Dallas did for Luka
Dalton finally with the hornets!!
Luka trade proves the nba is fixed
Am I crazy thinking they should have gone for Ayton with this trade package? He’s soft as hell but he is a solid lob threat.
Ok.
I dont like the trade but im not mat at it
Should’ve asked for josh green
I think Jaxon Hayes still better that Mark Williams.
Dang everything happening right after I sleep

Why would you trade Mark Williams?
charlotte got more for williams than mavs for luka
People have to google to see who mark williams is.
Kenecht 4 is better than williams. i dont get it. Yeah, they need a centre, but williams is basically jackson hayes with a bit more hype
Even if he can’t stay healthy they can just trade him next season
Why would we trade dalton????
Putting a Mark Williams video over Brandon Ingram is quite funny
my dream center for the Lakers was either Kessler and mark Williams tbh I thought those would be unrealistic and always thought the team might end up with vooch or poeltl
I actually see this as the lakers didn’t really give up anything to get Mark, all of those assets should’ve gone to the Luka trade anyway 😂
this just seems like a stupid move to me
Looks like an Andrew Bynum, when healthy he was crucial for Lakers success but injuries didn't allow him to reach his ceiling
Bc of the thumbnail, I expected sth like “Mark Williams to the Lakers for Luka Doncic and two firsts“
Moussa gets the chance to shine now
That first rounder won’t mean shit when Luka is around for the time being.
