The most consequential NBA trade deadline is finally over and boy was it a busy one. Not only did we have blockbuster deals involving massive names like Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis and Jimmy Butler, we also had a bunch of much smaller deals.

The team added Luka Doncic, Mark Williams, Dorian Finney-Smith and three other players over the past six weeks, deals that appear to have short- and long-term benefits.

To get Williams, a former first-round pick, the Lakers sent rookie Dalton Knecht, a 2030 first-round pick swap and their 2031 unprotected first-round pick to the Hornets. The Lakers also included forward Cam Reddish to create a roster spot they could fill on the buyout market.

Mark Williams is heading to the Los Angeles Lakers. The 23-year-old rim-runner was acquired in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets. ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and an unprotected 2031 first-round pick are heading in the opposite direction.
