I don't see the fascination with Knecht, so I think its a really nice deal for Mark Williams for this year and moving forward.

He has already put up monster numbers from a box score perspective -- PER of 22.5 and 26.5 the last 2 years is really, really good.  Now the one thing PER doesn't capture well for the modern center, is how much of an issue they can be defensively (be it instincts, awareness, ability to defend or cover up for others in space)... can't say I have watched much Charlotte basketball, but their D is an issue, so I can see Mark Williams being one of the causes.   I'll trust your perspective that he is a mess on D sometimes.

Still like the deal for the Lakers though despite those issues, and they for sure had a hole at C.   [B]What bothers me is Knecht, the 2031 First, and the Swap, should have all been assets that were moved to Dallas.    How Dallas didn't get some of those assets as well is beyond me.  This is what allowed the Lakers to get enough together to get an upgrade like Williams.[/B]
