When Mark Williams walked out of Spectrum Center on Wednesday night, following the Charlotte Hornets’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, he probably had no idea he wouldn’t be back in the building Thursday morning.

The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets in a trade for rookie Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and draft considerations, a person with knowledge of the deal tells The A Press.

The Los Angeles Lakers' extremely active trade deadline won't likely be remembered for adding a big man, but their most recent move after acquiring Luka Doncic should have Lakers fans optimistic about where the team is heading.
