One of the more puzzling parts of the trade deadline earlier this month was when the Lakers announced that their trade to acquire big man Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets was rescinded just 48 hours after it was announced.

In between the original trade and the the take-back, the Hornets had already traded for another center, Jusef Nurkic from the Suns.

While it would have otherwise felt like a normal game as basketball resumes action after a few days off in the schedule, this match is anything but normal. That is because after the two teams agreed to a trade that would send Hornets big man Mark Williams to the Lakers, the deal was rescinded.
