Mark Williams Unwilling to Return to Hornets

The NBA has been in existence for decades it's baffling that there isn't already something in place to prevent something like this there have been countless trades over the years this can't be the first time something like this has happened. And certainly the Hornets cannot be expected to simply lose him for nothing now on top of having to buy him out.

No way in release him for him to sign with the Lakers for free. fug that.  Give us their next 1st round pick for their bullshit and sit his ass on the bench for his.

 

He may be only 23 but he's a professional being paid very well. We sent you to a better situation and they got cold feet. If anything he should be a man and be hell bent on making the Lakers look stupid. He should go out against them in a couple weeks and go for 40 and 20. But that pussy just like 99% of the guys on this team has no balls.

 

I wouldn't trade him next year either. I'd assign him to Greensboro and let him rot for a year. Wouldn't play him a single minute there either. Ride the bus and shut up and take your 6 million dollars.  I'm fed up with all these players we've collected.

Don’t think this is accurate. Saw this posted on threads/IG and people ran with it.

Whats more than likely happening as some Hornets podcasters have pointed out is that the Hornets are disputing the physical not to force the trade but for Williams’ benefit.

The Lakers essentially killed Williams’ next contract so the Hornets are doing Williams a solid and getting an arbitrator to essentially figure out who isn’t telling the truth.

I’m willing to bet Mark will be back after the dust settles. You just don’t buy out solid rookies when they are making penny’s compared to the rest of the NBA.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
