Mark wllliams back issues are so bad he can’t even lift weights



Mulatto worshipper thinks he’s a better GM than Rob Pelinka @Gil Scott-Heroin

We can get a better deal for Dalton Knecht in the offseason . Mark Williams is damaged goods

Damaged goods?



He played in nearly every game for the Hornets after that trade was rescinded. You simply fell for Lakers propaganda because they got buyer's remorse for some unbeknown reason (I suspect Bron might have had something to do with it). You'd know this if you actually knew what you were talking about.

Hoops isn't for you, stick to soccer. Then you can stop pretending for the folks who don't know you.

What did LeBron have to do with it?

What did LeBron have to do with it?

My theory is, after it was agreed upon, someone with a voice within the organization opposed the trade. I don't know who, but it could've easily been Bron. Maybe even JJ. Maybe both. Maybe someone else who valued Knecht. Someone had a last minute change of heart, likely because they believed Jaxson Hayes was enough and didn't want to give up any capital in exchange for someone who they thought wasn't worth it.

It ain't have shyt to do with a failed physical. That was just a front.

Mark Williams was averaging more minutes after the trade was nixed than he was before. Go figure.

Lakers could've used Williams on Saturday that's for sure. When Hayes goes to the bench Jalen McDaniels is taller than everyone else on the Lakers squad

They have no playable big available that is crazy

They could've at least converted Jemison's contract to a standard one to have some size!

I know he's not a lob threat which is what Luka wants, but they'd be fools not to go after Steven Adams in the offseason. They need to find at least 1 big that can play at an NBA level

Them cats is Bronny status

Hey, maybe Williams breaks down in 5 years but Bron is 40, what the fukk are you waiting for here. The time is now

They will address it no question

Hayes only played 8 minutes, there's only one Center that could actually be Mr. Net Negatives floor spacer and Luka's lob threat at the same time while covering up for them on defense. It's AD

Pelinka can get someone more durable for Knecht

We have Luka's prime we have time there is no rush

ain't no need to make hasty trades
