This is the craziest trade deadline I can ever remember...
😂
U ever remember? You are like 18.years old😂.. lmao 😮
@@gearheadmoff1232Name a trade deadline where A super star best player in the league unexpectedly gets traded by a gm for a significantly worse older player. This is unprecedented. That is facts. You’re just chatting
Yeah
This is the only trade deadline i even remember lol. Most of the time it doesnt mean jack but everyones trying to either win or tank lol
We got our center… but for Knecht 😢
This one hurt but it’ll be worth it
williams is better than Knecht at the moment and he fits what the lakers truly need.
I really like Knecht but Williams is actually younger
When you look at what the Lakers had left to offer for a big-- it was only either Knecht or Reeves that were attractive enough. So yeah, this made sense for the Lakers. I think even they didn't trade AD, this would've still been the outcome that made sense.
@@andrewlau2939 exactly I rather lose knecht than reaves tbh
Lakers really needed a big like Wililams, but man I was really looking forward to seeing Knecht grow. His athleticism and ability to shoot the 3 could be great.
Yea it’s really a good trade tho im mad as hell but mark williams a great pick up
I like the trade
Really? What's funny is Lakers fans were always taking about A D. being hurt. You just got a guy who has only played in 84 games out of 212. So he has missed more time them he has played.
Exactly. I was calling him our Kyle corver. I was very exited to see him play. Lakers get rid of all the young talent man.
And has only played in 22 games this season out of 50 plus games. So that should concern you but you are a Laker fan so you will have no objectivity about the trade. This is for the commenter above me not the original comment.
Those Knecht heaters were my favorite Lakers highlights of the season/pre-season.
@@stampscapes he didn’t pass to bronny enough so he had to go
😭😭😭😭😂 LMAO @@Atribecalledsuccess
you mean the 5 good games he had, until he was the 10th guy on the bench when the league found out he couldn't guard his own shadow?
Luka 😂 who cares about Dalton Knecht 😂

This is a GOOD trade but it’s a bit pricey. But the hornets had the power position since lakers NEEDED a center

@Cheatingscoobydoo some people don't understand logic.
It's unfortunate that Dalton Knecht was traded. However, it is part of the business. Hopefully Mark Williams can help my Lakers.
This is probably gonna be a solid group for a deep playoff run seeing how la has been doing without ad
Of course he can help ever seen him play solid
Im a Hornets fan. Losing Mark hurts man. You're gonna love him
Lakers not going nowhere
Man I’m done with Rob , he don’t know what he doing
AD was right. The Lakers got a new center 😂
He will love that, going back to the four. You know what's weird? I had this dream AD was traded for - get this - Luka Doncic. Such a weird dream. As if that'd happen IRL.
😢@@HorizonOfHope
AD and Williams together in LA would have been scary
why trade Dalton Knecht ?
He was starting to lose his value we just overpaid a little with two picks
I guess Williams comes at a steep price, and the Lakers needed someone who will protect the rim
cause they need a center
Cuz they needed a better center
Cause they already got Luka lol 😂
i like Knect man , wishing him good career with La melo
Honestly, good for both sides, Dalton will have room to grow and reach his true potential. While Mark Williams will fit like a glove for LeBron and Luka. Plus he's still young.
I went from saying fire rob to give him a raise.
Hornets got finessed
I agree, he will get more playing time in Hornets.
Yes a good move. Dalton's gonna thrive and will get his ball touches. He'll be underused in LA the way things are.
@@aymanislam4831so this time it’s not lebron running the team?
Greatest trade deadline ever. I'll be satisfied with this one for a very long time.
You can say this again. Wow!

Lakers ain’t impressed me this much since the ship
Lakers get special treatment as the biggest franchise
@@wesleycuban8649crazy
Williams is young…that’s it 🫤 and he’s injury prone a lot for being young. Dalton was a phenomenal shooter and had so much potential
You can’t play Dalton with Luka Reaves no defense and no size…
Agreed
dalton has no defense he cant be playing at the same time with luka
Welp looks like I was right ✅👌

He's never gonna be that guy
I really hate that as soon as a player shows star potential the Lakers trade them
The price of high expectations. We’re a chip city
you're complaining about trading Knecht and AD for Luka and Mark Williams??
@@ForeverBrooklynNYC plus two first round draft picks but yeah i get it.
Such a disgusting organization
Knecht isn’t even averaging 10 points how’s he showing “star potential”
So you mean to tell me the Lakers gave up AD, Max Christie, Dalton Knecht, and 2 first round picks. And got Luka and Mark Williams? This puts the Lakers as a contender and sets them up for the future, Give Rob Pelinka GM of the year
Honestly i dont fw the lakers and i gotta say yeah he definitely was the biggest winner this trade season .
The thing that is funny is they traded two players whom they coulve traded for before Luka got there. AD complained about wanting to play 4 instead of the 5 and now they get him while shipping AD. This is all hilarious.
@@Sammyk94950maybe because they’ve had this plan in motion for a bit? Luka and Mark Williams actually gives you a future, both are younger than 26, both are extremely athletic and play their roles very well. AD is a superstar in the league still but he’s 32 I think, you don’t want build around that in the Post-LeBron era
😂😂🫵🏾🤡
@Sammyk94950 Good point.
Hope Williams and Luka stay healthy and are a force to recon with in LA for years to come!
You better do more than just hope they can stay healthy. Keep your fingers crossed and pray because I doubt if either play a full season 😂
I see two red flags.
Luka is not a guaranteed deal because of the uncertainty if he will stay after his contract expires.
The possibility of him playing with Jokic is now a big possibility and to which team.
Only time will tell.
for the Lakers, its now a messed up franchise starting with Lebron's son who stayed with the team instead of getting traded
whats this?!!!
@@rommelramos8513Brons son is a late second rounder. Who tf would even trade for him? C'mon now.
One of the BIGGEST reason of this trade is so Luka will see a better future and sign with Lakers this summer.
This is a high-risk high reward trade right there. As long as Mark Williams can stay healthy, he is huge for the Lakers. I gotta give my condolences to Dalton Knecht. Wish him nothing but the best.
he's actually lucky, he'll get to live in charlotte rather than LA
@@ChadHansen-h8k at least he is white yes

Jesus. Watch his highlights, he's the real deal. I'm in shock we got him. Hornets fans sick right now, losing the big guy.
That guy is to skinny to keep Jokic at bay.
Well I'm a Luka fan and therefore a LAL fan now. Feels weird.
Was it part of the business when lebron took his talent to the heat and people burned his jersey
He can’t defend
Cam Reddish has had so many chances and as a nyk fan i thought hed blossom but he was just upsetting every performance
Shams on a generational run.
Fr this dude is on a streak
The new Woj 😂
Bro is feeding his great grand kids in weeks worth of work.
How? He is just reporting what’s going to be reported because it’s a done deal. He’s not giving insight or information ahead of time. If anything he’s been wrong on his assumptions.
@@Jmarsbeats he’s first though . . You see what I mean? 😂
Dude has averaged almost 30-10 this past month, he's 23 and had one injury he was rushed back from and hurt it again and it cost him a lot of games, but he's completely on the right side of that now and it hasn't been an actual ton of injuries, just one that nagged because of the situation he was placed in.
He grabs boards like crazy on the offensive end, especially, he can pass out of the post insanely well, he can actually defend 1-5 sneaky well even if he isn't completely lock down, and he can pretty much dunk from a calf raise but has hops for days. He's Luka's prototypical Center pairing.
With the amount of screen, lobs, and defense requirement he will do the injury will highly come

@@JTCin2025back and knee problems at 7ft is never good at 23.

Is that the center AD just dropped 42 on the other night? 😂 y’all have a blast with that.
Didn't think they would have to give up Dalton and a 1st round pick. Would think either/or? But Lakers definitely needed a center but they needed that before they traded AD as well. Now they have a hound center with promise but it does suck to see Dalton go.
Right Dalton and Christie.. 2 great Shooters.. but they did really need the Big also so I guess the will still figure it out tho
Yep seen that guy play against the Lakers last week. Competed very well.
Die hard Charlotte fan. I don’t know how to feel about losing mark, but the lakers got a great young center. A good rebounder and one hell of a lob threat. He’s not the best “rim protector” but he gives 100% effort. He’s been dealing with some back injuries, but hopefully he puts it all together in LA.
I love Dalton DK4 but man Mark is a beast in the making, check his game log for the past 10 games he was killing it

His height and length is absolutely undeniable and offensive rebounding is nice. Ifey rim protector though. But we got Knecht 4 and Reddish (two scorers that turn up randomly) with a 1st round pick.

Except people also know that in 4 seasons Williams has missed 60% of those games.
not enough to trade knect for
Dude just gave up 42 & 23 to AD…. MW is BBQ Cajun 🍗 🐓
Williams will play every time it rains in LA
AD: “And y’all couldn’t have done this with me there?”
Exactly
Mavericks wanted AD pretty badly. GM has had a long relationship with him and players apparently know him. So no they couldn't have.
I think if they can get Middleton on a buy out and trade 2 of Rui/Reeves/vandi/Vincent for another big they can be legit
People saying lakers are contenders 😂😂😂 people just love to talk. You have no defense, no bench, your two main guys don't move without the ball, every guy you traded for has an injury, and the other teams are getting better 😂
You don't know ball
A starting line up of Luka ar dfs bron and mark is pretty good
They're scared look, got them running!
Vondo has improved as a defenders rui has been ball and Hayes is a solid he will be a good back up center
And bron can play off ball your forgetting his the most versatile player of our lifetime we will be fine
Trading DK is tuff but mark Williams is a rising great center that will fit perfectly on the lakers
I understand the frustration of Laker fans about Knecht because he is been performing really well as a rookie. But he is soon to be 24, the Lakers also have Luka, Reaves, LeBron on the perimeter and they really needed a center. You have to give something to get something good in return and the Lakers did what they had to do to be relevant now but also acquire a piece for their future with Luka. The probably had to give an extra pick to get the deal done, but you can say they saved some picks from the Luka trade so they had the luxury to do so. Mark William's health is of major importance of course in that trade. Hope he will be on the court more than his time in Charlotte.
I wonder if Charlotte asking for Austin Reaves but ends up getting Knecht
I was thinking this same thing
Why would you ask for the worse player who is about to need a new contract over the younger , better player still in a rookie deal?

@@zion897 U DRUNK AND DONT ANYTHING ABOUTB BBALL
Mark Williams nice bro that was a good move
I agree but dam, they just drafted Dalton
Lakers traded an nba2k rated 77 in Dalton Knecht for an 84(!) in Mark Williams, a back-up 2-guard for a starting center, a roster redundancy for a major need, and somehow got younger!
Side note: Lakers also added in a fringe NBA player in Cam Reddish, a ‘30 pick swap that probably won’t convey, and a first round pick in ‘31 that projects to around #25 in the draft.
I’ll take it!
Bro not knect!!! He was the best shooter on the squad
best shooter from another universe
he had so much potential bro, this was not a good trade, he is a deadly shooter, they should have focused on on trading other pieces for a good center
Too emotional. You obviously haven't seen the hornets play. Mark Williams is more valuable to the Lakers. Everyone is going to see now, especially playing with Luka
Y’all are acting like we have other pieces to trade we can’t trade vando because of his defense, you want to trade AR, Rui? Gab will step it up we good now we got a young big who’s got all star potential
If we have Luka we don’t need Kinect. The whole team are decent 3 point shooters. What makes them below average is playing time compared to Kinect
Why are they acting like "shams" knows some shyte? He sounds like they just gave him something and he just read it
Great news for knect though. He will get a lot of opportunities in Charlotte that he won't get now with Luka in la
The trade got rescinded just now. Knecht is staying in LA.
Man this trade deadline has been so unpredictable lmao.
Mark Williams is tough and plays the center role well. Lakers are going to be unstoppable. Hornets also got a great rookie to keep building their team with. Win win.
too small to guard against AD or Jokic
@@186gaming7 he’s 7’2, but he does get cooked by physical centers like Embiid/Jokic, but so does everyone else so who cares. They just needed a legitimate starting caliber center who can catch lobs and get stops/be a deterrent against cutters and guards driving at the rim. He’s also only 23, seen him drop 40 and 10 a week ago and he’s been averaging for 23/10 for the past month on a bad team as a center. Honestly think this is a win win for both teams. He’s made of glass like AD tho, so that’s unfortunate

RobP is the most fleecable GM in the history of sports.
He got a current top 3 player in the league and a up and coming 7ft All Star for 2 “potentially” decent players, Dalton Knecht who couldn’t remember the play book, Cam Reddish who has under performed ever since he was drafted, Max Christie who basically has the same skill set as Austin Reaves, and Anthony Davis who is inconsistent and can’t beat Jokic to save his life. Too many unreliable players. They would be good IF they click at the same time but you’re praying for a miracle. Luka and Mark Williams are 2 blue chip players with instant impact and can grow together.
@@traviseskridge2474AD was going at it with joker. lebron choking every 4th quarter is why they lost 😅 zero accountability from you lebron fanboys.
Amen 🙏 dressed like a dolce &gabbana commercial😂 Dude
Williams looks like just a decent player having a bigger scoring number year. You can usually tell the value of a player by how many minutes they play per game. Unless he has not yet reached his full potential which is possible. But Knecht is a scoring talent and bomber with much greater potential.
Smh richards and Williams gone from Charlotte 😮💨
Lakers a contender now 🔥

Stop it
Yall dont know mark williams once he gets fully healthy. Charlotte sucks but you gotta watch em games. Losing Knecht hurts but its soooooo worth it
Only because the league is about entertainment, not real competition
I picked up Mark Williams in my fantasy basketball league three weeks ago and went from 6th in the league to 3rd in the league!
Trading Dalton is Crazy Smh
You have to look at this move in conjunction with the Luka trade, not by itself. They gave up very little to get Luka but needed to give up a bit more to support him
It was 10000% worth it. Once you look at it at a whole team standpoint it makes 100% total sense

Austin Reaves is clearly the 3rd best player but they got a big man who can contribute.
They did this because the NBA is making it happen
Pelinka made the perfect move. Williams is an ascending young physical bigman who can defend players like Jokic and have the agility and verticality needed on an offense run by Luka and Lebron. You might think this is lopsided but believe me when I say this, the guy is a 15/10 guy right now. Next year this would be 20/10. that's the kind of player that the Lakers just snatch at 23yrs old.
I hate this trade. I loved Knecht 4. He dunks (or at least tries to) every game. He can take over a game when he heats up. I really hate this. I would rather have sen Rui go.
Yes but Mark Williams can take over games as well. He really has a tremendous upside. He really is the best young center right now.

Hate to see Knecht go but we need a center more than another shooter when we already have a bunch. Just think that we gave out one too many picks. Younger age players do come with a higher price...

They have 4 other players on the team who’s attempting more 3 point shots and is hitting them at a better rate. Knecht is shooting 36% on 4.5 attempts like we need to relax as if he’s shooting 41% on 10 attempts
Lebron, Luka, and Reaves shoot the three ball pretty well

Lakers are a good shooting team (luka,AR,Lebron Dfs,Rui ,C wood ,Gabe)- we didn’t need any more shooters , DK4 my fav player when hot but this trade gives so much more as MW is a glass cleaner and a lob threat fitting lukas center profile. He can easily average 19/10 now with 3 playmakers on the team
You don't watch Laker's basketball it seems. Reaves, LeBron, DFS, Rui and Gabe are all hitting 3s at a good clip. Then you add Luka as well.
Dalton was barely a rotational player for us because of the amount of wings we have. Now we get a center without sacrificing any depth.
Mavs took like 5-6 years to bring luka a good fit in the center position. Lakers took 2 days to bring him a better fit than gafford. Honestly, good for Luka
Shams was right. Nobody watch Hornets games except for Hornets fans. I know nothing about Mark Williams 😂 But when I checked his videos, He's a beast kind of player. Great job Rob!! And a million thanks to Nico.😊
Why didn’t they get Mark Williams before trading AD, it would’ve worked with AD and Williams at the rim
They gave up a good scorer in knecht to get MW. Luka brings that scoring back.
Mark Williams... "Who?" 😂 I love that guy
I really hate losing Knecht it does hurt but we needed a center much more plus we have role players who can pick up knecht spot
"You have to give to get" - exactly! Mark Williams is a solid young center and fits a position of need. Reddish and a 2031 pick alone would not have been enough to get a player like him. Knecht likely would have played a smaller role now with Luka on the team anyway.
Kneict 4. Loved his game. The Lakers feel good about the perimeter they just wanted a rolling rebounding center that don’t need the ball just ready to finish and or rebound
So basically AD got traded for Mark Williams 😂😂😂😂
And Dalton for Luka 🤦🏻♂️
