It's hard to not feel a bit of sympathy for each of Mark Williams, Cam Reddish, and Dalton Knecht. I imagine the three of them were sitting on a plane flying back to their respective cities after the trade that sent them across the country was rescinded thinking "how come he don't want me man?" like Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

It was reported a few hours before tipoff that Knecht wasn't expected to play, and the team has since officially ruled him out after rejoining the team one day ago. However, the Lakers do expect the rookie forward to be part of the rotation Wednesday in Utah.
