Knecht, Reddish, 2031 1st, 2030 swap

Heavy price for their center.

Great deal for the Hornets for a guy with promise but so many missed games.

No way

It's certainly a strong price, but his upside is significant. Hornets bailing on him is shocking. Guess they don't believe in his health.

Big gamble on health by the Lakers. Charlotte keeps kicking the can down the road

Wow, that is expensive.

I feel bad for some our Hornets fans who will take this harder than us Mavs fans took Luka. They loved this guy.

Cha blowing it up?

Makes so much more sense than Kessler though. And Ainge blew it if they would have paid that for Walker. Our Jazz fans kept turning that deal down, but....

Paging JMAC

Oh man... That's amazing. Mark Williams is elite.

Health is obviously the big factor but I'm shocked Hornets gave him up

Holy **** what a price...

Wow. I’ve been impressed with Williams the few times I've watched him play. Solid pickup for the Lakers.

Especially after they traded Nik Richards already.

Good trade for the Hornets. Probably one of the better talents the Lakers could get though too.

That's a rather risky gamble on the Lakers part.

I men, you can’t turn that down as Charlotte. Kid is very talented (and huge), but hasn’t stayed healthy at all. Heavy, heavy price.

I think it's a good price but not a shocking price.

Mark is vert good, and then on the picks, Lakers will likely have a prime Luka Doncic + whatever they fetch in FA to play with him after LeBron retires... Could very well be a late 1st and an unused swap.

There is a potential scenario where Mark fulfills his potential and becomes a all-star level big, the picks don't pan out, Knecht ends up being an okay role player, and people end up looking back at Char and ask "why".

Insane gamble by the Lakers with their last reaource, that's a questionable price for a.healthy Williams, let alone barely available one.

How is his defense? I don’t/didn’t watch many Hornets games. I know he has offensive upside, but I don’t know about his game on the other end.

The **** are the hornets doing lol .

I wonder what the last call with the blazers was like discussing Rob Williams. I assume he could’ve been had for half of that return.
