There are no breaks with the Lakers these days. In a shocking turn of events, the trade between the Lakers and Hornets bringing Mark Williams to LA has been rescinded after Williams failed his physical. It's important to know how rare this sort of thing is, and while reports are it wasn't his problematic back that spooked LA's docs, there was enough other stuff going on here that the Lakers simply couldn't pass him. Eventually, we'll get a better feel for whatever happened here, and down the road we'll learn whether the Lakers dodged a bullet and/or if they can make a better deal this offseason, the most pressing question is clear: What do the Lakers do now? The Lakers still need a center, but trade deadline is passed, so that's not an option, anymore. Meanwhile, undoing the trade puts two players back on LA's roster, complicating their efforts to sign a player on the buyout market. Moreover, none of the players they might eventually get access to will be as good, or even as close to as good, as Williams. Rob Pelinka is going to need to return to the drawing board, but this time it's going to be filled with far fewer appealing choices.
