A word of warning: if you troll Los Angeles Clippers center Marcin Gortat on Twitter, expect to get hammered with the worst — albeit most hilarious — mom jokes.
One Twitter troll found out the hard way when he tried to come after the so-called “Polish Machine.”
It all started when Gortat announced on Twitter that there was “crazy news” after the big Tobias Harris trade:
Damnnnnn crazy news!!! NBA people !

It didn't take long for a troll to come in and taunt Gortat with “crazy news” of his own:
You are next!

Gortat wasn't with the nonsense, especially on this day, and he took to Twitter to clap back about everyone's mother not once, but twice:
Ur mom is next!

If you are traded, thank you for the games you have contributed. There are many of us Clipper fans that have been waiting for at least a Finals appearance for so long.. Thank you for playing for my favorite team, the Clippers.

Ouch!
To be fair, Marcin Gortat then went on to say that he would miss his “brothers” who were traded, especially Mike Scott.
Scott, along with Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic, will be joining the Philadelphia 76ers, as part of a trade deal with the Clippers that includes sending Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, and Mike Muscala to LA:
The Bobi x Tobi show is headed to Philly! 🔔😂

According to Forbes, though, none of these moves are surprising in the least:
Harris has been their best player, and Doc Rivers’ creative use of a second platoon that includes Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley has given them the best bench production in the league. Williams is a top candidate for another Sixth Man of the Year award. Gilgeous-Alexander has cemented this spot as a future piece.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, and it should be interesting to see who else Marcin Gortat ends up tweeting about — including their mothers.
