Lakers Fan here, lol looks like we flooded your channel.
I was bummed to hear DK being traded to Charlotte , ( he talented, hes a shoooootrr) sooo glad we get our rook back. Only other player to do this was KOBE 💜 . Good luck to Mark Williams . Ok chao.
I really wanted to watch dalton knecht 🤦♂️
Doesn't make a difference that the lakers scouts are blind as fuck I'd trade him first chance that pops up he's done and dusted Mousa o er mark now
Wings and nachos btw
FOOT INJURY'S ARE A BIG ISSUE
WALTON, MING, RETIRED DUE TO FOOT INJURIES
WE ARE GIVING UP TWO FIRST ROUND PICKS DALTON WAS A FIRST ROUNDER AND THE PICK
what a petty franchise Lamelo needs to get out of that toxic shithole
As a Laker Fan.. THANK GOD… Don’t want to see K4 leave LA.
Reversing this trade is a blessing in disguise if Mark can get healthy and stay healthy.
Lakers fan who has been watching locked on hornets for over a year now because Walker and Doug are awesome (still miss Doug’s long hair). I can say personally that this sucks. Me and many others were really excited about having Mark. I want to know exactly why the Lakers failed Mark during the physical because we now have Jaxson Hayes and two way players for center depth. 🤦🏽♂️
I feel we gave up to much for mark anyways dodge a bullet
Only the Hornets 😂😂😂
The Lakers have the worst medical staff in sports. There is no way the Hornets were not aware of anything the crappy Lakers staff found in 5 mins
Beer is my SB food, but I am not watching the SB
Last thing I want to do is watch a team I despise be the first in pro sports to win 3 in a row since my Lakers
As a Lakers fan I'm hoping LA got wind of something better available in the summer and decided to fail Mark
I hope this for my Lakers and for Williams
Damn i thought we could get away from this dude
Hornets might have to look into the training staff again this offseason bc all these injuries are ridiculous & continuously happening
32:05 definitely here. Needed an honest assessment of Williams
Technically it’s two 1st Rd picks if you count Knecht
Lakers fan here – I was really looking forward to seeing Mark play in LA, and wish the NBA provided an amendment window for deadline deals.
Good luck to Mark and the Hornets! Was a big fan of the LJ+Mourning Hornets and hope you guys win the Cooper Flagg lottery to pair with LaMelo and Miller! Really appreciated your neutral and honest POV – keep up the good work!
I watched a few games of Mark playing after the trade and when I called out His flaws I got killed in the comments my lakers fans 😂
we have no more Center problem! look at the brightside
Jeff Peterson’s Rookie of the Year run was going so well too…
Im a hornets fan for only 3 yrs and I was excited Mark got traded! Now i feel devastated and it feels gross. I just want this to go away!
It's funny how small markets complain about people not knowing about them and then you make a comment about Ramona having a Lakers bias, that's funny.
Lakers fan here. We are not upset. If anything we are thrilled to get our players and picks back. You guys tried to Rob us.
Laker fan. Hornets fans should be embarrassed with your leadership. What a rinky dink organization.
Yeah, put him right back in the starting line up out of spite hornets. Then, snap!
Laker fan here…Although we were giving up more than needed, I really wanted this trade to happen. If they saw something that can’t affect mark’s longevity, it’s definitely not worth the trade. By the way, great podcast!
Lakers had buyer remorse thus pull this shit there should be an investigation
THE LAKERS HAD BUYERS REMORSE
THEY JUST CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER TRADE IN THE OFFSEASON
THE NBA SHOULD MAKE THEM TAKE THE TRADE
I WOULD NOT RESIGN HIM IF I AM CHARLOTTE
YOU DONT WANT A PLAYER NOBODY WANTS BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU EVER TRADE THEM IF YOU WANTED TO
Adam Morrison podcast 😂😂😂
Bro, I'm in no way a hornets fan, but you're such a good podcaster that you got a sub from me.
lol u talked about him so bad LA sent him back to u lol
no Knecht for Charlotte ?? oh well, maybe Salaun can make at least 4 shots before the season ends
could be similar to pursuing a romantic interest only after they express interest first
No one wins.. I feel for Mark. Hopefully he can prove everyone wrong & overcome his injury issues, come back healthy and stronger than ever.
Hornets released the MOST ABSURD POST I'VE EVER SEEN ON ON THEIR PAGE, thats awful pr for you organization, after, LA/CH trade
I’m beyond fn mad…..
If the damn hornets never called the lakers in the first place theyd prob have some mediocre big still better than Jaxon Hayes which is a lot better than nothing. The ceiling on the season dropped because MJ the scammer tried to pawn damaged goods
Lakers realized they fd up. Knecht is a stud… they changed their mind and fd us is how I feel. I can’t even explain how mad I am. Knecht is one of my favorite players that I wanted us to draft rather than Salaun….. smh
Oh who is 22 i have high school kids that play better that guy was horrible at detroit
Also 14 moose was punched in the fxxking face and no foul was even called as he has to be helped off court. That guy has a rep. Of being dirty. Our guys did NOTHING protect your team mates omg . 7 healthy players ? Miles is the only player that dont stay in street cloths lol and people dont want him.
I hope Williams will light them up Feb 19th in a revenge game.
We are holding out players that could play while others go out and get hurt bc we are fielding a much less talented team. No one wants to never see a starting line up for fxxk sake enough is enough if u have a bunch of street clothes players 😒 get rid of them damnit
Hornets keep everything hid about injuries you dont know who is even really going to play each night. A stumped toe puts a guy out a month
Mark needs to come clean with wtf is wrong with him? He needs to go to espn and tell truth .. he never plays he is mr street cloths and soft
Dodgers wouldnt be shit if they didnt over pay for all players good thing no salary cap lol
Yes the hornets are cooked .. look who they draft all busts ..they could have number 1 pick and f it up
Wheres montraz
