BREAKING - The Lakers are trading Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap to the Hornets for C Mark Williams, per @ShamsCharania

Mark is a beast

wtf am i suppose to do with my Knecht jersey you fucking bumass team WHY GIVE AWAY UR 17th pick

Downsides: Dalton had so much potential and Mark is injury prone Upsides: we needed a center, he’s young and can play with Luka for the future, lob threat and scoring potential

Lakers gotta get Dyson Daniels somehow, strengthen the front court with Williams, trade Rui and a pick. Then I’m calling it.

A win… but small win.

Trading Knecht is crazy bro

They gave up more for mark williams than they did for Luka ..

JJ knows Mark from Duke.

So far this season he's averaging 16 pts 9.8 Reb 1.2 blocks per game idk 🤷‍♂️ if it was worth what the Lakers gave up

Lakers robbed them

Big dub. Gotta get size to be able to guard Jokic

Lakers gave up a bench player with potential and a pick in the late 20’s… its not that much

Plus Knecht cant play with Luka and reaves on the floor.

And bronny

yea they really needed a big so I guess it's worth it and he's only 23 too

Hes younger than knecht

i think they did give up a lot but it was def worth it

The 2031 pick isn’t as valuable now we have Luka though. It was way more valuable when AD and bron were together and the future was less clear.

real hes also been cooking in fantasy so welcome to LA Mark

@kalikals facts they don't realize how good Mark Williams is, and they're trading a 23 yr old for a 23 yr old especially because what lakes need rn is a Center

They dont need him to score 20 they just need 10+ rebs and great defense presence everything else in place lol they jus have to make it work together

Yup, this is a smart trade. The future is bright for the Lakers if a championship run doesn't work out this season

If we get the hornets announcer back then this is the fleece of the century
