Everything was looking up for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Until it wasn't.

The Lakers made the biggest splash ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline when they acquired Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks in a move that cost them Anthony Davis. While it set the Purple and Gold up with a star for the foreseeable future seeing how Dončić is just 25 years old, it also left them with a hole in the frontcourt.

It was a hole they appeared to fill by landing big man Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap.

However, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Saturday that the Williams trade was rescinded because the center failed his physical exam due to "multiple issues."

The question now is what do the Lakers do next with a thin frontcourt that might not be ready for a long playoff run, and the answers aren't that easy since the trade deadline has now passed. They will instead have to turn to the buyout market if they want to add depth beyond Jaxson Hayes.

With that in mind, here are some possible buyout targets.
