Los Angeles has dramatically revamped its nucleus since Christmas, assembling a roster that could be a championship contender this season with Luka Doncic and 40-year-old LeBron James.

The Lakers snagged their much-coveted center, agreeing to a deal for 7-footer Mark Williams of the Hornets, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Lakers have found their replacement for Anthony Davis and he allows them make a real push to contend this season

The NBA trade deadline arrives tomorrow at 3 p.m. ET. Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler and other stars could still be on the move, but it's already been a wild deadline. That's because the Dallas Mavericks stunned the basketball world late Saturday night by sending Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package headlined by Anthony Davis.

Jimmy Butler has gotten his wish. He's being traded out of Miami. The Heat and the Golden State Warriors have agreed on a deal that sends Butler to the Bay Area, a person with knowledge of the talks said Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been heavily involved in the trade deadline, making a few splash plays in their quest for an NBA title. Los Angeles kicked off the deadline week with one of the biggest trades in NBA history, acquiring Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in a trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Mavs.

The Los Angeles Lakers are the talk of the NBA world. People around the league are still confused about how they were able to acquire Luka Doncic. Doncic is a top-five player in the league and is still just 25 years old. He isn't in his prime yet, and trading him for Anthony Davis was a no-brainer for the Lakers.

Luka Doncic was introduced Tuesday as the Los Angeles Lakers' newest superstar, three days after a shocking trade from the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic is now set to form a partnership on the court with fellow Lakers star LeBron James,
