Lakers fill Anthony Davis hole by acquiring Mark Williams in trade with Hornets

The Lakers knew they had a big hole to fill on the inside after trading center Anthony Davis away to the Mavericks in a big three-team trade in which they acquired star Luka Doncic.

They filled that hole on Wednesday night.

Los Angeles snagged its much-coveted center, agreeing to a deal for 7-footer Mark Williams of the Charlotte Hornets, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Lakers are sending guard Dalton Knecht, small forward Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 picks swap to the Hornets to complete the deal, per Charania.

Williams, who has some durability issues, gives the Lakers a big upgrade at center since they traded away Davis, ad he has put up offensive numbers that match some of the NBA’s other elite big men.
