NBA Twitter reacts to Christian Wood joining the Lakers

If Wood works out with the Lakers, he will give them something close to an embarrassment of riches, joining LeBron James, Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and the fast-emerging Austin Reaves.

Across X, formally known as Twitter, fans reacted with emotion.
