The Lakers and Hornets trade for Knecht and Williams has been rescinded due to Williams failed physical.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

That’s a hell of a gamble on a one-way big who already has a history of foot AND back injuries.

He did get demolished.

But he's about the best big you can get for Knecht and Reddish. You think you could get a KAT or something with that package?

:usure:


They probably could’ve gotten Gafford for that package added in the original Luka trade. Dallas ain’t keeping all those bigs on the roster.

Got damn hornets are dumb as fukk.…everytime you think they're getting on the right track they do some shyt like this :mjlol: Mark is a stud tho….excellent rebounder can move and actually makes his free throws.…. I think the trade is a about fair...they probably could have gotten a cheaper alternative but Mark has that upside... A little Tyson Chandler-ish crazy

Honestly they shoulda got claxton
Claxton just signed a $100m deal.

The Lakers don't have the financial means to make a trade like that work. Not unless they were willing to part with more depth, which would be counterproductive because then it would depreciate the ceiling of the squad.
No but Hayes can do most of what he's doing tbh
:usure:

Hayes is a garbage man. Mark has an infinitely better offensive skillset, not just scoring, but he's a lot smarter too in making the right play. Defensively, he does struggle, but his issues are exacerbated being on a bad team. If the Lakers are controlling and dominating a game, there's going to be fewer possessions where he's exposed.

You think having a defensive liability at center helps them? Idk maybe I'm spoiled but I wouldn't want him on the court watching tape. He's enes kanter bad on defense. He shows no effort and is like 2 steps slow.

Luka and Bron can put up 130 with you or me at center tbh, give me some D
