Twist in California, where we learn by Espn that the transfer between Lakers and Hornets was purely and simply canceled!
In question, the physique of Mark Williamswho has hardly satisfied the leaders of Los Angeles At the time of medical tests. We already knew him subject to injuries since the start of his career and the interior of 23 years is obviously not more reassuring on this point. All we know is that it is not his back that is problematic.
The Hornets welcome him!
Therefore, Charlotte Keep his pivot and the pair Dalton Knecht – Cam Reddish Stays in the Lakers. Ditto for the choices of draft initially included in the exchange. An exchange which could not be modified since the “Trade Deadline” has passed for two days …
“We are delighted to welcome Mark into the organization of the Hornets” write Charlotte's leaders in a press release. “After the other team has aggressively prosecuted Mark, we made the decision difficult to transfer him. We have always had great respect for talent, work ethics and Mark's character. We are delighted to see him join our team for his dynamic presence at the post of titular pivot. His return strengthens our team and we are impatient to regain his impact which he will have on the field and outside. »»
How will Lakers find a pivot …
It is now unknown if Los Angeles, who counted on Mark Williams to take over from Anthony Davis in the racket, will be able to strengthen himself in this position with, why not, Daniel Theis, Mo Bamba or Moses Brown. Unless the Hornets, who recover Mark Williams, cut Jusuf Nurkic, and the Lakers recovered it.
In any case, the Californian franchise has 15 players under contract and it will therefore have to free one to recruit someone else on the “free agents” market.
