The Lakers follow up their trade for Luka Dončić by adding talented young center Mark Williams from the Hornets.

In the 7-foot Williams, the Lakers believe they found a center who caters to the style that newly acquired All-Star Luka Doncic told GM Rob Pelinka he likes to play.

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 40-year-old James became the oldest player to score 40 points in an NBA game Thursday night, putting up a season-high 42 in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 120-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors.

Bronny finished the game with three points on 1-for-1 shooting from beyond the arc, one assist, one steal, and one turnover. He also went 0-for-2 from the free-throw line. Bronny made his first three-pointer of his NBA career.

LeBron James had 42 points and 17 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers blew most of a 26-point lead before hanging on to beat the Golden State Warriors 120-112.
