Mark Williams Unwilling to Return to Hornets

Will probably bought out and LA will probably pursue signing him. 

 

 

I will be pissed.

You and me both. First, he refuses to play, then refuses to play defense. 

Now, he wants out so he can go screw over another team. Boy, we sure can draft great players!

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.

Yeah, there is nothing beneficial to the Hornets organization to buy him out.  If he doesn’t report he doesn’t get paid.  Period.  That includes next season.  Buying him out make zero sense.

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.

If millions were worth pennies, Elon Musk would be broke and we’d all be Twenty Dollarnaires.
