The?report stated that the Lakers are interested in Terry Rozier from the Charlotte Hornets. Despite knowing that he would be tough to get, likely because of his existing four-year contract, the report mentioned,?“he has fans with the Lakers.”?Rozier is a point guard who dealt with an injury in the early days of the season. Since then, he has played nine games and shot at 38.6% from the field. Following the release of this report, fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment.
LeBron James and the Lakers’ latest report leaves Laker Nation weary
While Rozier could bring value to the roster, fans believe that the team doesn’t require another point guard. They were quick to attack the organization for this potential interest. Some fans pointed out that the Rozier trade would be tough, while many stated that there was no way the Lakers could get Rozier.
One fan’s tweet read, “I?m a fan of Zendaya, I ain?t getting her?. Fans even mocked the statement that declared that Rozier had “fans” inside the Lakers team.?
Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

Okay, but who would Charlotte want in exchange from the Lakers though? Terry's good but the Lakers already have a lot of guards.
