Just In: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap to the Charlotte Hornets for center Mark Williams, sources tell ESPN.

Literally who.

Edit: I take it back, he averages 15/10 as a Center.

I'm feeling better since folks are saying he's good. I pay no attention to Charlotte whatsoever actually don't know him at all either.

Wow
Hornets fans were hating on Nick Richards and saying that Mark Williams was the guy.
But Knecht AND '31? (bleep) man that's our center for the future, I hope he's worth it!

He plays big and is a walking double double

People on reddit thought last year he's not known because all he does is catch lobs and those people get no recognition when they're on small teams. I think he's a good fit though

First Max and now DK. Ugh. When I said we need to keep some of our young talent, I was definitely NOT talking about Bronny.
Hope this works.out.

I hope Williams can stay healthy. Hate giving up on Knecht. Don't love this trade.

Wow this is an incredible move by Rob. Mark Williams is very good and has a lot of upside. Injury concerns are the only problem.

Hopefully Rob feels very good about his talks with Luka. Only being in control of the 2028 pick from 2027 till 2031 is not great if Luka is not here.

Dude is about to go from being a generic name on a backwater team to starting center on the league’s premier franchise playing next to two legends.

Averages 16/10 and is 7’2”. This is massive

Mark is the same age as Dalton if that helps.

Young talent.. the 7-2 walking double-double we just got is the same age as Knecht.
