Well yeah I think he's more valuable than Duren, I didn't think he was even available. Think it's a mistake that Charlotte moved him.

Depends on the contingency which honestly is a pure mystery since I never saw this one coming while they were moving him all along.

They obviously passed on Clingan, missed on Ware, traded Nick Richards. And never felt strongly about Mark Williams all along.

Supposedly Charlotte called, expressed interest in Knecht and said Mark may be available. Lakers dropped the 1st and swap on top.

Can the swap be traded? How does that work? Like if traded to OKC could the Thunder trade their 1st in the 2030 draft for the Lakers first in that draft?

No they can't.

You could give the Charlotte 2030 FRP to OKC and say that it's the best of Charlotte and Lakers FRP. Gives it more value.

Notably, Duren actually wasn't available. :-P

85/212 games is a bad trend. I think it’s a good move for both teams, but I feel like there’s more risk on the Lakers side
