On Monday, an already fuzzy would-be NBA trade got even murkier. Days ago, the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets agreed to a deal surrounding rookie Dalt

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht said “it felt like a movie” after being traded to the Charlotte Hornets and then back to the Lakers after Los Angeles rescinded the trade three days later over a failed physical by Hornets center Mark Williams.

It was a bizarre weekend for a Charlotte Hornets team that does not typically attract much attention. But after the team agreed to what appeared to be a very favorable deal with the Lakers for center Mark Williams, things unraveled quickly.
