The Los Angeles Lakers needed a starting center as soon as they had lost Anthony Davis. Sending him to Dallas in exchange for Luka Doncic meant that they had no center that they trusted.
Los Angeles thought they had agreed a trade to get Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets. Eventually they dissolved the trade after they had Williams through a physical walk.
After they failed him, the Hornets fiercely did not even agree with the Lakers’ decision. They think that Williams is healthy enough to play and healthy enough to be in that trade.
