Mark Williams is the biggest reason the suns have played as well as they have so far

xuedad | Lakers

54 | 16 hours ago

Smh at us rescinding that trade. Now Dalton is worth nothing and we wasted last season for nothing

Rook2Rook

25 | 16 hours ago

Imagine how dominant the Lakers would look with a center rotation of Ayton and Williams right now.

BeingNicole4

15 | 13 hours ago

It wouldn’t work, they both want minutes. A big part of why Ayton signed is so he could rehab his image. Williams likewise wants minutes to show he’s not injury prone

TheTrueConnor800

Will this make the rest of r/nba like us? We may have saved basketball, at least for a few years until OKC gets a top 3 pick next year…

OffCircuitLamp

15 | 16 hours ago

I think it is about the pick and the pick swap which they had buyer remorse. If it is only 2nd round picks, the deal is done now.

Aggrokid

10 | 15 hours ago

Yeah unprotected first round and a pick swap for a player that will be RFA after this season was really steep.

SmileyPiesUntilIDrop | West

If Luka stays healthy,and stays with the Lakers their 1st the next few years aren’t gonna be worth hoarding for proven NBA talent who you can plug in to feel a specific need.

Aggrokid

1 | 15 hours ago

One unprotected 1st round pick and a pick swap for one season of Mark Williams (he’s a FA next summer) with past injury record was not a good deal at the time.

Supreme_God_Bunny | Hornets

Been healthy so far lol

JaqM31st3R

Eh. The Lakers got Ayton for nothing. The trade was for Dalton and a 1st.

FutureGrassToucher | Suns

22 | 15 hours ago

That rockets loss the other night i think wouldve been a different game entirely with mark williams. Not having green, dunn and allen hurts but williams is more impactful fundamentally because of the drop off from him to nick richards

PhoenixBloodline

11 | 15 hours ago

Without looking it up, I think we’re like 2-5 without him. So we’re 10-2 with him. That’s an insane difference.

How’s his defense been? He was good until his injury and then awful after that up to the trade. Dude was a double double machine regardless.

magic_spam

5 | 15 hours ago

He’s been surprisingly switchable, though the lack of PF means if he has to contest a shot it’s pretty likely we give up an OREB.

Hes not elite as a defender by any means but he’s definitely (eye test) been a plus on the defensive end

spookyghostface | Hornets

1 | 15 hours ago

That’s good to hear.

Gratitude15 | Suns

1 | 13 hours ago

This has been the weird part. We were told to prep for good offense poor defense. If anything, his defense has been the headline. He alters shots really well. He can switch better than good. He rebounds very well. You can back him down, but beyond that I’d say a top 10 defending center. Our backups are dookie in comparison so it stands out even more.

Kuntsaw | Suns

Mark Williams for a guaranteed late first had this sub laughing at the Suns. It’s sneakily been a foundational move for this squad. Maluach is far from being ready so even if we lose Williams after this season it’s worth it

Slow-Raccoon-9832

18 | 16 hours ago

He’s restricted it’s very unlikely they lose him

bot_nah

9 | 15 hours ago

I remember hornets fans were actually disappointed after scrolling past some injury comments

spookyghostface | Hornets

6 | 15 hours ago

We loved the dude. He had some rough defense leading up to the trade but he was also coming off of a long back injury.

Supreme_God_Bunny | Hornets

5 | 13 hours ago

His defense actually went right back to normal after the deadline so he was playing himself back into game shape

bot_nah

3 | 12 hours ago

I wonder if Hornets just didn’t want him, or if it was Williams who wanted out after the lakers trade attempt

Hopefully the back injury isn’t serious

Aggrokid

2 | 11 hours ago

They probably don’t want to deal with his upcoming free agency.

They were also stockpiling low picks up the wazoo. Even the center they got back from Suns was sent to Bucks for more picks. Maybe they hope to get more draft steals like Kalkbrenner.

ShaqsBurner | Kings Bandwagon

2 | 5 hours ago

The relationship was ruined after the attempted trade. Mark has mentioned it countless times in interviews.

Sensitive_Ebb_7211

1 | 4 hours ago

They didn’t want him.

Gratitude15 | Suns

4 | 13 hours ago

If he plays 55 games, they’ll find a way to keep him. Too good, too young, and now too playable in playoffs.

DemonicDimples | Kings

42 | 16 hours ago

Lavine and Westbrook are basketball terrorists.

Keegan +5 in 12 point loss.

Keon Ellis is a beast.

Standard_Landscape_6 | Kings

22 | 16 hours ago

Only time the team ever went on run was when Keon was playing

DemonicDimples | Kings

And Keegan

delamerica93 | Kings

4 | 15 hours ago

go figure! like we’ve all been saying this entire fucking time VIVEK

samurairocketshark | Suns

13 | 14 hours ago

Lavine is way worse though, guy is supposed to be in his prime while Westbrook is 37. Man that Fox trade was awful literally no worse player to be put on this team. Hate that Kings fans have to watch this just a couple years after the hype of the Beam Team

DemonicDimples | Kings

4 | 14 hours ago

I’ve always hated Lavine and his game and always pushed hard against trading Barnes and Huerter for him. People just can’t look past the box score and think points and good shooting = good when he’s abysmal.

Westbrook was just a dumb signing when we didn’t need more usage or more guards and taking away playing time from young players when we’re terrible anyways.

samurairocketshark | Suns

2 | 13 hours ago

Yeah I never liked Lavine either, which is funny because I thing Derozan could still be good on another Team. Hopefully ya’ll get a good draft pick this year to pair with Keegan and Ellis and just trade everyone else

DemonicDimples | Kings

3 | 13 hours ago

Derozan would be solid on the right team coming off the bench.

Adventurous-Ice9231

4 | 15 hours ago

Lol keon? He killed the momentum in 4th same with Monk

DemonicDimples | Kings

6 | 15 hours ago

That was primarily because Keegan sat. The kings started down 25 primarily because of turnovers by Zach and Westbrook and those two getting torched on defense. It’s hard to keep playing perfect when you’re down so much after the 1st.

Adventurous-Ice9231

2 | 15 hours ago

Nah it’s still his fault he played ass in clutch. he’s still raw but much better than Zach he should start over him.

Stephenson99overall

-5 | 15 hours ago

Doesn’t matter if Kings were down 20 in 1st. They were only down 10 in 4th then monk killed the momentum and keon hero ball in clutch and tov that’s why they lose. Btw Russ played decent he had 19, despite 5 tovs he still had 3 dimes and 7 rebs and you’re blaming him lol.

DemonicDimples | Kings

3 | 15 hours ago

Yeah I’m blaming him because I watched the game. Him and Lavine were abysmal tonight.

Stephenson99overall
