The Lakers and Hornets trade for Knecht and Williams has been rescinded due to Williams failed physical. Edit: Charlotte is challenging the rescinding

I will say I was hoping for a move for Kessler with this kinda package but Danny Ainge ain't letting that happen.

Some of Williams lack of defense and effort worries me but a lot of times guys get traded from shyt teams to contender and they improve a lot in that aspect (PJ Wash, Gafford for example). His injury history is the biggest worry but that's up to how the Lakers handle him moving on

Solid trade though :hubie:

Well,

The Lakers are certainly going all in.

Maybe 3-4 years from now they might regret not having much draft capital, but I guess that's something they will worry about later.

The next few months are going to be very interesting.
In 4 years they will have Luka still in his prime and either quality pieces still in theirs or cap space. This is suddenly a young team outside of Bron.

What does your screen name even mean?

I feel like typing FTBS into the address bar is how you get to the Deep Web to buy fake passports or something.

Can't lie, probably nobody in here is a casual. If you post about sports on messageboards, listen to basketball podcasts etc you know more than the vast majority of fans. All that and nobody knows who this guy is :dead: despite him having some big recent games
I actually have been paying closer attention to the Hornets because it was twin on twin games when my team still had Caleb Martin and those were some of the few games we actually were competitive in and had a chance to win when both PG and Embiid were out and I still don't remember this dude at all


Looks like dude is injury prone and mainly a lob threat as defensively he's mid

i don't know much about mark williams since he's on the hornets but his stats are surprisingly good. i don't know if this is the case of a bad player putting up numbers on a bad team type of deal or if he's legit but i find it funny AD and bron have been asking for a true center for a while and finally got one after trading AD.
