At that time, the Lakers sent out the first round swap rights of Kneckett, Reddish and the first round of 2030 and the first round of 2031, and obtained Mark Williams from the Hornets, but then Mark Williams exposed many injuries during the Lakers' physical examination, and the deal was subsequently cancelled by the Lakers.
