The Los Angeles Lakers are at the center of a rare trade occurrence in the NBA. No, we're not talking about their blockbuster acquisition of Luka Doncic, we're talking about the rescinded trade with the Charlotte Hornets.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick is understandably excited about his team's future after trading for Luka Doncic.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Knecht spoke with Lakers head coach JJ Redick before the game to discuss his mindset following the failed trade. Per Buha, the rookie guard told Redick he needed more time to process the situation before returning to action.
