- As the NBA trade deadline is right around the corner, the lakers traded for star center Mark Williams. In this video I go in depth about what that means for the Lakers, Dalton Knecht, and the rest of the league.
They need a center, and boy they got an athletic young 2 way center. Sad to see DK got traded, but still happy Lakers got what they need to fill out the void when AD left.
They need to shop the buyout market mann, jeremi grant or rob williams per chance? 🤔🤷🏽
@@mekayakaJerami Grant would be perfect
If they only trade for mark Williams
Ad and mark would be scary
@@mielbaltazar5099we wouldn’t have enough money for that
They can't acquire over MLE players in a buyout market because they are under the 1st apron
...And we acquired both Luka and Mark Williams without giving up Austin Reeves! Amazing!

Rob Pelinka wants a statue outside the arena 😂
BS, he should be on shame's list for breaking up championship 2020 team that Magic Johnson built...
Don’t get too far ahead of yourself. This the guy who traded for Westbrook and killed the team.
He does tho and he keep it up he'll get it lol
Williams is amazing, just hope he stays healthy.
😂😂
@greenbeetless also with Christian Wood coming back they will manage his minutes big time.All in go Lakers.
Mark Williams, 23 years old. Oh my
Woohoo!
To be honest if not for this trade i would never know he existed
Hey Rob I will apologize. I still think the Westbrook trade is a fireable offense. But I will be lying if I act like you haven't put some pretty good teams together in your short time here in LA. And a few idk how you pulled that off type of trades. Glad you haven't been fired and like I said before my bad lol
LeBron made him do that trade he had a Buddy Heild deal lined up instead
LeGm is no longer in the drivers seat and this is what’s happening now. No Carmelo no Russ none of that !
@@TheGreatestJediOfAllTime no. Lebron absolutely did not want to give up Caruso. Besides AD, the only participation Lebron gets in trades is when the GM has something lined up and they ask him if he would like the player on the team.
@@TK-evgoofy, Bron made all the trades for LA apart from Luka....stay in the cupboard Lil boy
@@talentlesspoppy5681LeBron has'nt made a trade since Westbrook- i.e the worst trade in human history. Pelinka took over after that and just pulled off the greatest trade in human history.
great take! seeing the deals as a whole- luka + his ideal center-- thats nuts
Don't forget DFS
@@azizmooshoolov2308for what
Got mark williams in fantasy and he’s a beast , fun to watch too
They didn’t give up on Knecht. The team needs changed dramatically with the AD Luka trade. That he was so valuable as to make getting Williams possible shows how highly he was still considered.
Just hope to get him a healthy season
To be honest, both teams won the trade. Getting Knecht will secure Hornets future, talent wise, and Williams is all the Lakers need right now to fight for that chip. It's a win win trade for both.
Rob is certified gangsta, gotta respect his name now and he's not done
It’s not frustration Dalton. Best game was like his first or second game we needed a center. No we have a start in center. This is golden.
Bro the lakers are gonna win it all this season wow
Haha definitely not this season
Maybe in 3
Where do I know that sentence from... oh. Yes. From after EVERY trade in the last three years. :)
@@TristanBraithwaite-cu6bd bro it's easy win, just watch
If they all stay healthy, probably that they'll have a pretty good shot
It blows my mind how many people are clutching pearls over draft picks that will be low first rounders considering what the Lakers got. Basically, Knect for Mark.Williams.
Coming back from injury, Williams minutes didn't go over 20 until end of December. Check out his January. 18.9 ppg 14.5 rpg 74% FT shooter during month. Included a 38 point game and a 31 point game. Lob Dunk monster. Glass monster. 3.5 Offensive reb per game for season in 25 minutes per game. Had back and foot injures, but NO SURGERIES.
7'1, 7'6 wingspan. 23 years old. Restricted free agent after 2026, which gives team control of situation. I don't know who else they could've gotten on available market that could be better for this team. As much as we like DK, are we even sure he'd be in the rotation in the playoffs?
Not only do you know ball, you know the business of the NBA. Rob got this guy for salary and bunch of what ifs the lakers can go without.
It blows my mind how many people forget what happens to all the new pick ups that play with bron 😂🤦♂ All that talent just to become useless when paired with bron
@@mrbp3351the guy that has the most playoffs games in history log out and make a burner every star lebron has played with won a ring what the entire f are you talking about bro whens the last time you watched basketball when drose was on the cavs 😂
@@MajinVegito100 What Tf does "Got this guy for the salary" even fkn mean?
@@MajinVegito100lakers still looking into buyout market anybody who can get bought out and make 13 million and under lakers can get . Bruce brown is rumors to get bought out soon but he make 20 million maybe they make another trade . This is such a great pick
This trade is good for Dalton Knecht. He can play 34+ minutes for the Hornets. That's what he needs: solid playing time. The Lakers obviously needed a center when Davis left and you're right. This is much better than any option we saw coming by. My only concern is can this guy play 34+ minutes short term? Play-offs, potentially 7 game series... they can't rely on Hayes or some other bum.
And he doesn't score good on rim protection. We'll have to see if it becomes a problem.
At least they have some young players that can be on the Lakers for a long time (if they want). With Reaves, Doncic, Williams. That's a damn good core.
alls man has to do is catch and dunk and defend.
If this guy can't perform with Luka, LeBron and Reaves...then it's better he just give up his job
Oh damn!!! Lakers are solid championship contenders🎉🎉🎉🎉
Only downside is he’s only played in 39.4% of games since his rookie season in 2022-23. The pro definitely out way the cons though so let’s hope he can stay healthy.
well yeah he gets injured because they give him so many minutes like he's playing under thibs
The only drawback to Mark is his injuries.
It was only possible because Pelinka kept the assets Nico Harrison should have received in the Luka trade
His athleticism hides a lot of defensive shortcomings though…the good news is those are things he can work on and improve on. He has the things that can’t be coached (size and athleticism)
I apologize to Rob for all the bad names and curse words I’ve gave him since 2022. You did good work with this one. Can’t wait to see how this team play out now
#Lakersin5
Luka personally requested to get a center and rob was all in to secure luka this summer
No he didn’t

Lakers had been looking for a big but once they got Luka this week, they knew exactly what kind of big they wanted. From what I’ve heard, in Luka’s initial basketball conversations he told Lakers GM Rob Pelinka he played best when he had a vertical lob threat.
@
But when Luka explained how much playing with Lively and Gafford opened things up for him in Dallas, LA felt like this was the move that would give them a shot this year and beyond.
@ It's in the news
No he didn't, but it did open up eyes about what offenses work with him
Dalton connect was never inconsistent he just wasn't getting the time they were sticking him on the bench for some reason
They let him play those few games to let other teams see his trade value...then they cut his minutes to avoid injury risk.
Ok Rob, if you have 3 bad season, and pulled these kind of trades once every 5 years. I'm rocking with you.
Don't praise your lover even before the clothes are off... 😀
Why are laker fans so delusional? The lakers literally signed a guy who has played 85 games in 3 years lol. Stop. They're not contenders
Thanks bro you got the best comment on here
LeBron James! Luka Doncic! Mark Williams! Watch out league. LeBron getting at least one more before he retires. This is going to be a fearsome three if they all stay healthy
Why do people believe this? hahaha. This team isn't going to the Finals. Luka can't even play 70 games in a season and Williams has played 85 games TOTAL in the last 3 years. They hard lost the Mavs trade for AD. They're just desperate for a center and picked up a guy who will get injured in 20 games.
Dam I would have loved mark williams to play right beside AD on the lakers and see how that would turn out but man acquiring Luka and Mark is a great catch for the lakers future !
Damn DK will also be spécial his shooting reminds me of Klay....but the way lakers been playing lately 😮😮😮 skys the limit!!!!
I’m a lakers fan!
- not to be toxic but it’s over for all the teams 💛💜
ALL OF THE LIGHTS EDIT of Rob negotiating
Starting 5 for LA do you guys agree or nah
PG- Luka
SG-AR
SF-LeBron
PF-jarred Vanderbilt / RUI
C- Mark Williams
Rob Pelinka is the GM MVP candidate for this year. Jeanie Buss is filling her Daddy's shoes in spades this year. Its just like the Lakers of old. Well Done!!
The lakers are building a super team again!💪💪💪
I can't believe Mark Williams is a top 10 big man right now. In the era of big man he wouldn't be average.
We dont hear about this center because he’s always injured.
Love this, but Top 10 Center bro? Jokic, Embiid, AD, Wemby, Kristaps, Bam, Gobert, Sengun, Chet, Myles, Allen, Vucevic. Cmon bro
I’d take Mark Williams over Myles turner. He’s more dominant
@reliablerants Duren, Claxton, Lively?
gaford…
@@GamerOnIsland welp.
He does a lot of the things that AD wanted 😂💜💛
And Mark is a Duke product! Both Lakers and Duke are my favourite teams!
This man will glaze the 10th best guy like he’s number 1
Checked the stats, in his 3 years career he averaged 15 p, 10 reb in only 22 minutes per game. I wonder what he can do if he plays a full match. Very good trade for Lakers.
He played for trash team.
@@Luca_Vialli ...I will NEVER understand this argument. Stats are still stats. He's a great center.
Cant believe the hornets let Williams go after trading Richards .. hornets are destined for failure and Melo gotta wake the fuck up and pack his bags
the league is three and no rim defense and you gave up a 3 guy and got a center that is a dying breed
For all of you people that kept bringing up 40 year old Dwight Howard coming back and insinuating that the Lakers were CRAZY for not picking him up. Obviously the only GM potential you have is for General Moters. In car sells.
He's a beast 9'9'' standing reach is the 2nd best after Tacko Fall in the last 25 years (accroding to official measurement, not sure about Wembanyama), Give hos 7' flat height, thats the best you can get! Add to it stuedy structure and the fact he's only second year in the league je has a lot of potential for cheap money
Wemby 9’7” reach
Knecht and Williams will work out for the best. Knecht, yes he is older than other rookies but he's ready. More time on the court will pay dividends in his career trajectory.
If Knecht was included in the Luka trade, we would understand and still do the trade. But we were able to use him for a needed big center. I love Knecht, but we couldn't play Luka, AR and Knecht at the same time. Knecht will get more play minutes in Charlott. I believe the Lakers made the right move.
If he stays healthy, he's really good. But he's always hurt and has played only 84 games in three seasons.
Things seem to always go the Lakers' way. Shaq signing with them, Charlotte trading them Kobe, Pau Gasol getting traded to them, LeBron signing with them, and now stealing Luca(!!!) and Williams...
Lets GOOOO LAKERS ! I can see them in western finals this season.
Its no Luka scale acquisition, but another one I think had one GM buzzed when he decided.
The only thing should be care is that mark needs to keep healthy
People complaining losing dalton but we could easily lose austin reeves for Charlotte but didn't happen, it sucks dalton gone but its better than losing AR.
Lebron just added another 3 seasons to his career
DK drafted by Lakers traded to Charlotte, Kobe drafted by Charlotte traded to Lakers
Wow Lakers made some serious moves
This is going to be Great for LA
His athleticism hides a lot of defensive shortcomings…the good news is those are things he can work on and improve on.
He has the things that can’t be coached (size and athleticism), but he lacks some basic fundamentals.
From "My god, he's the worst GM in nba history" to "he is GOD!" in one week. 😂
No one is worse than Nico...
I hope it doesn’t break the lakers and he stays healthy. Hard to believe we gave up a first and Knecht (a first) plus reddish. Knecht was in rookie of the year talks. Kinda think it should be been less of a price. I’m sure Knecht will get lots of playing time now but worried about our new big guy. Hope it all fades away once he hits the court.
Sound like a very successful trade, now we have a new LA team
Wow the league REALLY wants the Lakers to win.😂
AVG 15 pts and 10 rbs per game with 25 minutes/game. Leave him on the court
Rob pelinka, is going into the future
Hall of Fame.
LUKA winning us the ship !! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Go LAKESHOW!💜💛🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Looks like it’s time to start watching lakers basketball ball again
🔥🔥🔥love bro
As a Hornets fan, he has missed like 60% of his games already.
3rd comment 🎉🎉🎉
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼🥳
Rob should WIN the GM of the year award in 2025 💪😎👍🏆
Love the trade and HOPE Mark will stay HEALTHY💪
....and he has MORE arm reach than Wembanyama ?! CRAZY 💪😱👍
Jesus loves everyone 😇🥰
LET'S GO!!! #lakers4ever #17championshipsandcountingbaby
As a Mavericks fan and LeBron fan. I will maintain my hate for the Lakers and but still wish LeBron the best so he can win another championship if it's not in the cards for us this year. Other than that screw the Lakers.
There isnt game 7 if luka gets mavs in playoffs😅 at maximum game 6
Westbrook was the only player who played every game while he was playing for the Lakers.Bron and AD missed over 40 games combined. Westbrook carried us while he was with us.
Damn Bronny will have a ring with his Daddy. Watch all the haters when he flashes the bling in social media lol!
Yo there's a frame in the video that shows your desktop which isnt a problem cause theres nothing there but you could have leaked personal info if the wrong part of your desktop is shown
This proves the Westbrook stuff was LeBron calling the shots. Once they took the phone away from LeBron…. Pelinka cooked
Bron get them guy's in peak shape and build chemistry Asap
Go Laker's 😊
They should see if they can get Jokic for Hachimura and Anthony Edwards for Kleber and then roll with that.
Kobe smiling ❤
Giving up a good rookie, an unprotected first and a pick swap for a guy who played 60 total games his first 2 seasons in the league is not a steal.
We’ll have to wait and see if he stays healthy. But we’re building around Luka now
@@giancarlo1905 Luka is always hurt all the time
@@raymondthomas1574 LeKing will get him right
@@giancarlo1905 I hope so for his sake
Dalton is going to be a star
If these line-up could make in the finals and hopefully bag the chip. Imagine if LeBron agrees for a mid level contract next season, the Lakers can sign another notable big and two way wing. Sky is the limit.
We should all apologize to rob pelinka and get him a Statue
Damn I might have to become a Lakers fan now after Luka and now they finally got a center
My God, rob is robbing everyone😂😂😂
Anthony Davis =2.0 Mark willams =1.8
😂😂😂Damn only .2 better huh ???
AD,s last game on the lakers was against the hornets...who when gaurded by mark williams he dropped 40 something.....
lakers vs mavs west nba finals game 7 ..tv ratings of nba will explode!!!
Rob pelinka is growing your TH-cam channel haha salute 🫡 😂
Lakers Champions again 🏆
HE IS YOUNGER AS WELL…😩
I think you missed the part of him playing only 43 games in 1st season, 19 in 2nd and 23 this season. Who cares how he plays if he is barely available?
Idc what anyone says the Lakers are winning it all now!
At first with trading AD for Luka it was a good “they’ll make it to the WCF” because they didn’t have a reliable big. But NOW that they have a very good young Center in Williams, tbh it’s game over! Luka feels betrayed and he’s on a mission to show the Mavericks what they did was the worse decision ever, not show the world, show the MAVERICKS!
Luka about to finally be drinking his “after work beer” with LeBron drinking his wine.
Rob, Haggler-In-Chief
Melo finna have a ball with Dalton 😅
Another young man face player. Letsgoooooo LA
PAYLAY IS GOING TO GO CRAZY 🎉🎉 LEBRON WILLIAMS LUKA OVER BRONNY UNDER FIRE 🔥 😂
If you think about it .... They could have still kept AD and still got Mark Williams by trading Dalton and Cam 😂 but im not mad at this tho
and he moves WAY better than AD
NGL, that war between the Lakers and the Warriors for the 10th spot will be something special.

Lakers are in the 5th spot scrub
