Here are some more reactions from Twitter.

There are fans who are still in favor of this trade going down while some are blaming the Lakers? front office for ruining the team?s future.

Will this move help LeBron James?

If the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers somehow go through with this trade, it might just help the Lakers have playoff aspirations this season. But will Turner and Hield make Los Angeles a championship contender?

Buddy Hield will surely give the team that much-needed three-point shooting they?ve needed since the start of the season. On the other hand, Myles Turner is arguably one of the top shot blockers in the league. His ability to make the paint his own along with a well-distributed offense might do wonders for the Lakers.?
