Is Luka for AD the most shocking trade of all time

Mark Williams can move. His problem is effort.

That, and Williams' injury history, makes him a spot-on match for Andrew Bynum at 23. Bynum played only 1 more season.

I'm sure that few Laker fans want to see a repeat of that particular story.

I did not write this article, but I agree with most it: It took exactly 96 hours for Rob Pelinka to remind Lakers fans he's a terrible GM

Couple bits of interest:
"The Hornets are not a good defensive team to begin with, but they are even worse when Williams takes the court. They allow 5.3 more points per 100 possessions when he plays than when he doesn't, in the 13th percentile leaguewide per Cleaning the Glass. When Mark Williams is the closest defender within six feet of the rim, opposing players shoot a whopping 67.6 percent, 2.4 percent better than average."

No doubt.

And I would still much rather bet on Williams than a guy who is already cooked like JoVal or Nurk

Could absolutely go wrong.

But if it goes right you have Luka’s rim runner for the next 6-7 years.

In those cheap options, you get what you paid for.

Not a whole lot.
