Never heard of Mark Williams until today, he's got a 31 pt and 38pt games and a few 20+ and 10+ games :o I guess he got loose once they traded Nick Richards to Suns. Why the heck would Hornets trade away nice centers ?? Just to help out teams??

Difference between Lakers and Knicks

Lakers - all deals are low compensation or fair trades
Knicks - every deal, we have to give up high amounts of assets or overcompensate w players

Lakers still can trade 2 swaps and a second. would try to package them with either Rui or Reaves for a great perimeter defender.

Did the Lakers trade more for Williams than they did for Luka?

They've got playmaking from 4 positions and Poetl isn't a stiff passing wise.

Ingram gets to be the point forward. Not sure how RJ fares off the ball in a tertiary role. I mean, he was 'ok' at it on the Knicks, but it's not that ideal.

I'm glad Charlotte made the Lakers kind of overpay for Mark Williams and didn't gift him like every other team seems to do. But if Williams is healthy he definitely will help the Lakers cause he's exactly what they wanted and needed.

Toronto got Ingram cheap but I don't like the fit with RJ and Barnes. Also don't like Kuzma in Milwaukee.

I know most like what Miami got for Butler but I think nothing they got replaces what they give up. Miami would have been a near lottery team the last few years without Butler and I hope they go into the dumpster for a few years cause I'm sick of that franchise! Wiggins is a nice player but he's not at that level. Then again, giving Butler all that money at his age is crazy. Bet anything Butler and Draymond end up fighting at some point.

Mark Williams's acquisition was expensive.

Dorian Finney Smith's trade was reasonable.

Luka"s deal was just weird.
