As you may have seen, former Blue Devil Mark Williams was traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Los Angeles Lakers a few days ago for Dalton Knecht, fellow former Blue Devil Cam Reddish and draft picks.

The Los Angeles Lakers rescinded their trade to acquire Mark Williams from Charlotte after the center failed his physical, a person with knowledge of the circumstances tells The Associated Press.

The key to the trade is the unprotected 2031 Lakers pick that Jeff Peterson acquired. If the Dallas Mavericks are correct in their thinking about the low ceiling of a future led by Luka Dončic, or the Slovenian superstar inks a long-term contract away from Los Angeles, the value of that pick is limitless.
