Mark Williams was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and he almost packed his bag. Then, news hit him hard as the Lakers announced he failed in their medical examination. And it’s obvious for the young NBA star to feel pity for the whole situation.

Williams recently found himself at the center of a controversy following a failed trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. Just two weeks prior, the Lakers had struck a deal to acquire Williams. However, some believed him to be a promising addition to their roster following a high-profile trade with Luka Doncic.

However, concerns uncovered during his physical examination led to the Lakers backing out. Just a day after helping the Charlotte Hornets secure a 100-97 victory over the Lakers, Williams took to Instagram to share a cryptic message.

“There’s Always Peace When You Know The Truth,” Williams captioned his Instagram post while dunking past Rui Hachimura.

Fans have eagerly pointed out the irony of Williams thriving on the court while the Lakers scramble to fill the gap left by the failed trade. The trolling intensified as fans highlighted the contrast between Williams’ performance and the Lakers’ management decisions.

Fans Troll Mark Williams For His Instagram Caption

With an average of 15.3 points and 9.6 rebounds over the season, Williams has proven his worth, leading many to question whether the Lakers misjudged his health situation. Supporters of the Hornets are reveling in the success of their young center, while Lakers fans are left to ponder what might have been.

“Yeah, that’s why they should get fined,” a fan commented.

“Bro went 3/7 and only grabbed 9 boards against a team with no real bigs lol,” another fan wrote.

“Bros just mad he’s not playing alongside Luka & Lebron,” a fan quipped.

“Bro acting like he found God or something just cuz he got sent back lol,” another fan joked.

“You got traded by an org that didn’t want you,” a user quipped.

Adding fuel to the fire, Williams’ agent, Jeff Schwartz claimed that multiple doctors believed the Lakers were mistaken in their assessment of his client’s health. This only added to the discourse among fans, with many suggesting the Lakers missed out on a promising talent.
