The NBA Lakers pressed the line to the Hornets in exchange for 23-year-old high-quality center Williams before the trade deadline, but the trade was canceled due to a failed medical examination, and now it is rumored that the Lakers have a new reinforcement.

Rann

The Lakers sent rookie shooters Knight and Reddish before the trade deadline, and the 2031 unprotected first-round pick and the 2030 draft pick were swapped to trade with the Hornets for Williams, a 2.13-meter-tall and 23-year-old high-quality center. However, it was later rumored that Williams had not passed the medical examination, and the deal eventually fell through.

According to a report from Pacers reporter Dopilak, Ran, who was originally expected to sign with the Pacers after being cut by the Wizards, will no longer join the Pacers, because the Pacers announced on the 11th that they would sign former Tanhua center Okafor on a 10-day contract. And Dopilak speculated that Rann would join the Lakers next.

In addition, "Forbes Sports" reporter Hildry also pointed out that after the Lakers' trade with the Hornets fell through, Rann and the Lakers had a mutual affection. The 31-year-old Rann was recently sent to the Wizards by the Kings in a three-way trade, and after being cut, he was supposed to join the Pacers. He played in 36 games (three starts) for the Kings this season, averaging 7.2 minutes per game, contributing 1.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.8 assists while shooting 53.7 percent from the field. Rann was drafted by the Suns with the fifth pick in the first round of the 2013 draft and has played in the league for 12 seasons and 680 games.
