After the Los Angeles Lakers traded for superstar Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks, they immediately followed with another significant move by trading for center Mark Williams. Though the trade was ultimately rescinded, Doncic reportedly wanted the team to bring in another big man to help the team.
ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported: "What is clear is that Doncic will have a say. And it wasn't lost on James' camp, sources said, that Pelinka prioritized Doncic's involvement upon his arrival and immediately engaged in the Williams trade that he'd asked for, when James had for years wanted the team to trade its picks to improve its roster."
