On deal day, the Los Angeles "Lakers" traded Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a first-round draft swap and their 2031 first round pick to Charlotte. Pending a physical. Which Williams done flunked on "multiple issues". Deal canceled.
After this kick to the gut the Queens org, one of the most incompetent in NBA history, like Inspector Clouseau after falling down the stairs, jumped right back up and pronounced, "That felt good!":
We are excited to welcome Mark back to our Hornets organization. After the other team aggressively pursued Mark, we made the difficult decision to move him. We have always held great respect for Mark's talent, work ethic, and character. We are thrilled to see him rejoin our roster as a dynamic presence at the starting center position. His return strengthens our team, and we look forward to the impact he will make on and off the court.
