Los Angeles Lakers Trade Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, Picks To Hornets For Mark Williams

The Lakers have pulled off another huge trade during a busy NBA Trade Deadline. Los Angeles acquired up-and-coming center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets to join their stars LeBron James and Luka Doncic. In return, Charlotte grabbed rookie Dalton Knecht, a 2030 first-round pick swap, and the Lakers’ unprotected 2031 pick. Cam Reddish was also included.

The move was reported by multiple media members on social media, including ESPN’s Shams Charania and The Athletic’s Jovan Buha.
