The Hornets and the Lakers had a deal completed on February 9th, which sent Mark Williams to the L.A. and Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 first-round pick, and a 2030 first-round pick swap to Charlotte.

Mark Williams' failed physical was reportedly not the only reason the Lakers called off their attempted trade for the young and promising center.

Williams was acquired by the Lakers from the Hornets at the trade deadline for Dalton Knecht. Then, in a strange turn of events, the trade was rescinded due to a failed physical by the Lakers on Williams.
