Rob Pelinka must have taken Harvey Specter’s “Life is like this, and I like this” quote too close to heart. Cutting ties with Anthony Davis in one of the most shocking NBA trades of the last decade was not enough for the Lakers GM, as he made one final move before the trade deadline. And yes, it will come across as disheartening for many.
Shams Charania recently reported that the Los Angeles Lakers have traded Dalton Knecht! Yes, the DALTON KNECHT, the rookie who had won over Lakers fans with his streak of offensive prowess. That’s not all, as the Lakers are also trading Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick, and a 2030 pick swap, to the Charlotte Hornets. All for just one player: center Mark Williams. For Lakers fans, this news is simply too much, as chaos erupted in the comments section of Shams Charania’s post.
