Re: Mark Williams traded to the Lakers
We are cursed lol
Now we're stuck with a bad back center while also trading for Nurkic.
This franchise can't do anything right. If you knew he was gonna fail the physical why would you try to pull a fast one thinking the Lakers wouldn't notice something smh.
Just makes us look bad. I'm not a fan of the owners/GM/HC. They all can go I somehow miss MJ and Cliff.

Re: Mark Williams traded to the Lakers
I was afraid of this happening but I was hoping getting it done at the last minute and the pressure of the short LeBron window would force it through but damn
This is awful

Re: Mark Williams Trade Resended, Page 12.
I think this means both teams are basically screwed.
The Lakers have no center. The Hornets have a center who can't pass a physical because his back and foot are toast.

My best attempt at a positive spin is to say that guys can get flagged for medical reasons and it doesn't necessarily mean they are immediately cooked and won't be able to have any sort of career.

Now hopefully we can stop pretending this protracted return to play process he’s been under all season was ever normal. This entire thing has been shady for two years now

“ was rescinded on Saturday, according to the Lakers, because of the Hornets' failure to satisfy a condition of the trade.”
Per ESPN. What condition of the trade did the Hornets not satisfy????
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I think hes looked fine physically this year, so I don't know that this necessarily means he was deemed unable to play by the Lakers, but either way they should probably be as conservative as possible and just lean into the tank. Maybe find him a specialist or something to start working with idk.

The only thing that seems plausible is the Hornets didn't fully disclose his health issues.
