Buyout Market

The Lakers have to waive a player to take back Reddish and Knect. If they waive Reddish might me worth a flyer on Cam

I'm not sure why they would have to waive somebody. Unless I'm missing something, they had 15 players prior to the rescinded trade, and would have had 14 players had the trade gone through. They should be back to 15 players.

I read they would have to but I trust you more. But I think the thought process is they will have to sign a center of some sort so they can’t keep both guys.

There's actually an interesting question here, related to what happens when a trade is rescinded, if subsequent transactions occurred that were dependent on that trade going through. I can't actually find any information on that, but my guess is that if transaction B is dependent on transaction A (e.g. a roster spot needs to be available for B, the team has to get under the apron to do B, etc.) that transaction B simply isn't approved until transaction A is final. That at least keeps everything clean.

The Williams trade presumably never went final (that's why we always hear about trades waiting on physicals) so my expectation would be that any subsequent transaction dependent on it would also be nullified and Knecht and Cam would be back on the Lakers. But in this case I'm not aware of any subsequent transaction by the Lakers anyway.

I bet Dallas wishes they failed AD on his physical. That would had been the only way to have saved their franchise from their buffoon of a GM.

It appears that the Charlotte trade for Nurkic has yet to go through. He was with the team but didn't play yesterday and has a "trade pending" status. No idea what the hold up but interesting that it involved the other team in the Williams fiasco.

Latest I could find was this SI update posted within the hour. Not that SI is a reliable source these days:

They converted Diabate's two-way yesterday as well which is interesting with Nurk coming in.

Looks like Suns reddit is also starting to get worried they might have to take Nurk back.

The only thing that would be funnier would be if Phoenix had been a player in the huge Jimmy Butler deal and that whole thing had to get rescinded because they couldn't clear Nurkic. Oh well.

I feel like if they saw AD get off the plane missing a leg, Nico was going to push them to accept the results of the physical lol
