One Tyler Ennis is headed to Los Angeles, but it's not the one hockey fans might think.
The Lakers reportedly acquired reserve guard Tyler Ennis from the Houston Rockets for point guard Marcelo Huertas on Thursday before the NBA's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, and the Kings' social media staff shared the following greeting cheekily directed at the city's new import.
Welcome to LA, Tyler Ennis! #LakeShow pic.twitter.com/SeQYOux3sr

One would hope the #LakeShow hashtag would be enough to clarify which Ennis was really L.A.-bound, but the reactions ranged from confusion to anger and even to some fans who thought the team did it accidentally.
Well played, Kings.
