Lakers grade: C I know the Lakers needed a center, but I feel like you could have gotten someone more consistent for a lot cheaper. Mark Williams is a great player, but he is often injured and still fairly raw, so giving up your last assets for him seems sub-optimal
Hornets grade: C+ I just don't understand why the Hornets did this deal. I get that Knect is solid, and the draft capital you were getting was probably too good to pass up, but Williams is a great rim running big that fits perfectly next to Lamelo, so I think this is a move that Charlotte might regret.
