The bizarre failed trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets involving Mark Williams has caused both teams to re-evaluate their rosters. While the Lakers are left without answers at center, the Hornets decided to add another one to their full roster by converting Moussa Diabate's two-way contract.
The day after the trade fell through, the Hornets and Diabate agreed to a standard three-year contract, Shams Charania reported. The specifics of the deal have yet to be publicized.
Despite previously splitting his time with the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G-League, Diabate appeared in 42 of the Hornets' first 49 games.
