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.

When Mark Williams walked out of Spectrum Center on Wednesday night, following the Charlotte Hornets’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, he probably had no idea he wouldn’t be back in the building Thursday morning.
