Obviously, this is absolutely massive news for Los Angeles Lakers, and the NBA world had plenty to say about it on Twitter – especially given the timing of the report during extra time of the World Cup final.

Brutal blow for the Lakers season.
This is why they have to be so cautious on going all-in with a trade. Without AD, and LBJ, it's just not worth mortgaging the future. https://t.co/HeKnMZrwiT
