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.
