Warriors Expected To Pursue Trade for Hornets Center Williams

The Los Angeles Lakers are actively seeking to fill their center position, particularly after acquiring Luka Doncic, and may target Onyeka Okongwu from the Atlanta Hawks this summer. Okongwu, who has struggled to meet expectations, could be a valuable addition, especially considering the potential future assets the Lakers can offer, including a first-round pick. Meanwhile, the Mavericks and Lakers may engage in trades that involve known commodities, like Daniel Gafford, with the Lakers potentially giving up several players and picks for a new center. The Golden State Warriors are also in the mix, eyeing centers like Mark Williams of the Charlotte Hornets, whom the Lakers previously considered. The Warriors' pursuit of Williams could significantly impact their title hopes while simultaneously complicating the Lakers' center search. Both teams are looking to solidify their rosters with strategic trades as the offseason approaches.
