    I know nothing about this guy, I guess we think highly of him for essentially 2 firsts and a swap? We’re definitely all in on this season, we have an open roster spot as well now.

    I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I’m with Weezy I haven’t seen this guy play and I hate giving up such a young talented guy like Dalton.

    Why did he miss 26 games? It looks like he’s had some issues staying on the court, but looks like a very talented big man.

    interesting that he's younger than knecht

    bit of an overpay here, but i guess it somewhat makes up for the ridiculous underpay to get luka. hopefully the back issues that have plagued him won't be an issue. still don't think this team can beat denver though

    Thats a good point, we shouldn’t even really have that 31 first. I think we can beat Denver now though, Luka changes things, he has no history of being owned by them, no trauma from it, he’s not scurred.

    Did we have any 2nd round picks to trade? I would have offered that instead of the additional pick swap, but I get it. We desperately needed a athletic center who can be a lob threat and play ok defense, plus he's younger than Dalton.

    I just started watching (i think the first highlight clip in this thread), and he’s like dare i say….. freaking Dwight Howard lite?!

    Initially, so bummed about Knecht4 leaving, but like another poster said… seems expendable if we hold AR, and added Luka.

    I truly believe Knecht 4 and/or Max Christie will be something special in this league.

    Excited for Mark Williams and coming around to this… idk how to feel about 2031 unprotected?! How bad will we be 6 years from now? That could prove costly, who knows.

    Mark is so young, and played on a bad team. Really really excited to see how he fares with our Lakers!!
