    Good trade for the Lakers. Way better than Adams would have been for them.

    Mark Williams' ceiling was starting to show, this is why Hornets put him up for sell. But for a center he should fill LAL's basic need.

    But lIke many centers these days, there will be matchups where he's played off the court.

    Between Knecht and M. Williams, time will tell who will have a longer career in the NBA.

    Luka is going to make Mark Williams a lot of money.

    I was refering to Mark on the defensive end. In certain situations Hornets coach started hiding him on a non shooter, like we do at times with Sengun. Mavs used to hide Luka. Teams also attack Austin in switches. Maybe their offense will be super turbo, but defensively they have work to do.

    Lakers do need a center, he at least give them a floor in that position.

    Hornets like Mark, but they didn't love him enough to keep him. They saw enough where they were willing to let him go. He also didn't come cheap from this trade.

    If Hornets + Pelicans are having a fire sale, Stone needs to discuss price for LaMelo + Zion.

    Who would you give for them? They'll want to take someone from the core 7.

    I might just be tired from working late, but this got me harder than it should have.
