The Lakers follow up their trade for Luka Dončić by adding talented young center Mark Williams from the Hornets.

In the 7-foot Williams, the Lakers believe they found a center who caters to the style that newly acquired All-Star Luka Doncic told GM Rob Pelinka he likes to play.

The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly acquired center Mark Williams for a package including their top rookie and their last tradable first-round pick.
