While the NBA trade deadline will be defined by the Los Angeles Lakers acquiring Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks, there was another instance that marked an odd change of events. The Lakers’ deal for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams that was rescinded would have involved trading away Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish,

The Charlotte Hornets have reportedly traded center Mark Williams to the Los Angeles Lakers for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Knecht, selected by the Lakers with the 17th overall pick last June, averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 42 games with Los Angeles. The 23-year-old forward is a good shooter, knocking down 46.5% of his attempts and 35.8% from 3-point range, and should help stretch the floor when he’s on the court with Hornets’ star LaMelo Ball.
