Not one decent defender in that lineup.
The Lakers and Hornets trade for Knecht and Williams has been rescinded due to Williams failed physical. Edit: Charlotte is challenging the rescinding

Not one decent defender in that lineup.
People keep talking about what Luka is gonna do when he plays in Dallas again; when AD plays against the Lakers he may get 65.How soon we forget how special AD was, just watching clips of this guy lumber around and dunk with his 10 inch vertical is making me sick
Lakers are definitely a top five seed this season.

dammit. I wanted to keep Knecht. I guess this was to be expected tho
edit: and a first rounderfukkin Laker tax
You already know if a butt buddy ain't involved Rob was gonna have to pay them taxes
Dude puts up nice numbers and fits the profile well but he's got an injury history and hasn't been able to impact winning....last I saw of him AD was making him look G-leaguer ish.
But still...young and talented and a true big. Gotta roll the dice I guess. Just sucks that Knecht and the last 1st had to go out
This legit reminds me of playing at the rec and you pick up the tallest ngga there 
But he can’t do shyt you want him to do and it’s a headache.
I hope I’m wrong but if Anthony Davis himself was being ridiculed at times, this kid doesn’t stand a chance
He’s gonna be expected to wipe away the defensive warts of possibly the worst defensive big 3 in the league in Bron, Luka, and reeves. And everyone—-Bron, media, fans—-are gonna be upset that he can’t do it. People have ingrained expectations that’s all 7ft athletic nggas are supposed to either be mutombo or a switchy defensive stopper. Bro is neither. Pray for buddy he’s gona be the scapegoat .

You might to do the knowledge on that because noMark Williams is way better than Derick Lively and look what Luka did with him.

THIS POST IS WILD
At worst, they're a play-in team. They have a 29-19 record, so I can't possibly fathom why you think the best version of themselves is only making the play-in. A pissed off Luka is gonna make damn sure they don't perform below the level they're currently at.
Has anyone said he's going to put y'all over the top?Hornet Fans telling us he mid but everyone else saying he a walking 20/10 that's gonna put us over the top
He's a role player. A player whom fills a need (or at least, in theory does) because y'all just traded the only legitimate big on the roster. I mean y'all only gave up Knecht and a pick (I'm not going to count Reddish because he's had more than enough time to prove he's a relevant player), so there can't be any expectation that y'all were going to get some MVP-level big man in return. Mark is a lob threat, in the best way, and given game-changing big men in the league aren't readily available, this is basically the best the Lakers can get with what assets they have.
Nobody cares on the Hornets about anything really.
A lot of his issues on that end stem from him being injured, the surrounding players around him not being good/experienced enough to defend consistently, so he's going to have to deal with a lot of traffic in the paint and naturally that's going to put him in more vunerable positions.
Damn, my g, you must hate Bron that much. Not even making it a secret that you want this big man experiment to fail badly so you can point to how much the Lakers made a mistake for trading AD away (and ultimately, how more important he was to the team than Bron was).
