Nick Young thought the Lakers had traded him to the Rockets

One minute.

A solitary minute was all that elapsed between Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical’s first tweet about the Los Angeles Lakers acquiring Tyler Ennis from the Houston Rockets and his second one, revealing that they had sent Marcelo Huertas back in exchange.

That may not seem like much time for NBA fans just sitting on Twitter waiting for Woj bombs to drop, but for NBA players trying to figure out what city they’ll be playing in the rest of the year, it probably feels like an eternity.

During his postgame interview on Spectrum Sportsnet, Nick Young acknowledged that the members of the Lakers’ roster were checking their phones on the flight to OKC using in-flight Wi-Fi to monitor the trade deadline, and that he was at least a little nervous.
