about the lakers getting cold feet and backing out of the mark williams trade. Because charlotte is a small market team not only does this massively damage us in terms of mark possibly not wanting to play for us it also damages our rep.Im very proud of my charlotte team for continuing to pursue any actions against LA
..as even LA has said that there is nothing wrong with Mark, saying this quote below...

I’ve heard from multiple teams on this with the below questions:
-Should it be solely up to the team and their medical staff to decide if a player fails a physical?
What is the criteria for failing if the player is playing and healthy?
-Should there be a 3rd party involved to mediate a situation like this?
-Despite the deadline passing, should teams be allowed to amend a trade (draft compensation only), if there’s a concern re: physical?

Looks like we’re the sacrificial mule that will likely cause a change in the next CBA to prevent the Mark Williams situation from occurring
-- 3 days ago--something interesting to listen to as it shows the lakers had full access to ALL marks info BEFORE the trade.https://www.reddit.com/r/CharlotteHornets/comments/1io2335/locked_on_hornets_hosts_talk_to_bobby_marks_about/This post was edited by WallStreetBets on Feb 14 2025 10:24am
