According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers backed out of the Mark Williams trade because they “couldn’t live with what they saw.”

Mark Williams' failed physical was reportedly not the only reason the Lakers called off their attempted trade for the young and promising center.

Mark Williams went through a whirlwind of emotions back in February when he was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal that sent Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, and a first-round draft pick to Charlotte.
