Three days after buying and selling Anthony Davis to Dallas for Doncic, the Lakers orchestrated a take care of the Charlotte Hornets to land 7-footer Mark Williams, a tantalizing however injury-prone younger heart who was supposed to supply Doncic a vertical menace across the rim aside from Jaxson Hayes. Williams was Doncic’s most popular lob associate out of a listing of potential commerce targets and advised the staff so, sources stated, after Doncic had been so efficient with Dereck Vigorous II and Daniel Gafford in Dallas. The deal was agreed upon the evening earlier than the commerce deadline, a buzzer-beater by the Lakers’ entrance workplace after already efficiently negotiating the Doncic deal and the acquisition of Dorian Finney-Smith from the Brooklyn Nets in late December. Only Williams never suited up for L.A. He failed the team’s physical examination, and the Lakers “just couldn’t live with what they saw,” a source with knowledge of the subject told ESPN.
