Yay, a big.

Paid more for Mark Williams in future assets than they did for Doncic.

This guy Mark Williams better be good immediately bcuz Knecht showed promise and seem like a player who would have fit seamlessly alongside Luka for many years to come

HOWEVER, this seems a little excessive.

I really like what the Hornets are building, they know when to sell high.
