Yahoo Sports senior NBA analyst Kevin O’Connor is joined by contributing writer Tom Haberstroh to discuss the move by Los Angeles to acquire the Hornets center and why he might not quite be the right replacement for the departure of Anthony Davis.

Still, the Lakers are in win-now mode, and Williams gives them a legitimate starting-caliber center who fits their timeline. If he stays healthy and realizes his defensive potential, this trade could be a home run. If not, it could be another case of the Lakers overpaying for a short-term fix.
