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
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
Damn the Lakers traded their 1st round pick but kept Bronny???🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Be fr, I legit just traded for him in fantasy…is this gonna help or hurt him?
Hurt obviously
Depends, his points will drop but his rebounds and other defensive stats should go up
Everyone said the same things about when we traded Lonzo, Randle, Kuzma, Ingram, etc and look at them now. Good players with decent numbers but terrible teams and the lakers won a chip and now have Luka for the future. Knect probably gonna be a good player but for a poverty franchise
Y were the jazz not involved in this trade
Knecht got had just like ball!
Let’s be honest lebron traded the lakers future years ago and is doing it again now so he can try to win 1 more on his way out..good thing you got Luca tho.
Spurs as well
Everyone sleeping on Mark Williams. His numbers the last few weeks have been insane!
He’s on the hornets bro
