That makes sense. This is a gamble and risky trade for them but they are willing to make things right later on and test what will work for JJ as per Rob. I just can't help myself in believing on the kid because he's got the potential but maybe that's his destiny and he will be honed there after some years of being with them.
And for what it's worth for, Williams, who is averaging 16.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. So that is a huge contribution if he can have this numbers in the Lakers uniform. It is also reported that Rob consulted with Luka about this trade and he was 100% down with that.
As per the report, Luka wanted a big men, like what he had in the Dallas uniform that he can ally-oop pass in Gafford and Lively. So expect the same plays that will screen for Luka and then that pass for a easy dunk.
I forgot who said that but the league now is drying with big men and that's why having one for the team is what the Lakers really need to have. Getting a good sight of the paint is what gives the advantage while these offensive attacks from Luka and Bron will do good and doesn't have to be a problem for the team. It's even what AD wished for back then when he's with the Lakers but being with the Mavs he's got them towers. Anyway, AD is injured again.
