Mark Williams trade market to be re-explored this summer

Mark Williams is obviously back with the Hornets after the Lakers rescinded their February trade for the Charlotte big man, but some rival executives expect the Williams trade market to be re-explored this summer. The Hornets have tried to shut down similar speculation about star guard LaMelo Ball, but the reality remains that Williams, Ball and Brandon Miller have managed to appear in the same game just 18 times over the past two seasons.

That raises the obvious question: What about LaMelo Ball? Sources said the Hornets have no interest in moving on from their star guard. But setting aside the questions about Williams moving forward after the rescinded trade, the Hornets have Miller, their upcoming lottery pick and this year's lottery selection, Tidjane Salaun, all as building blocks moving forward. Ball, meanwhile, is already on his second contract. That alone makes it an interesting situation to monitor moving forward. "LaMelo is the question there," the scout said. -via ESPN / March 14, 2025

Zubac totaled 26 points and 14 rebounds on Wednesday against the Heat. Williams totaled 24 points and 10 rebounds on Monday against the Heat. “Those are guys who have been in the league for a minute and I’m still learning through it,” Ware said. “So I don’t really think it’s tough. I just think it’s more of a lesson to learn, look back on it and get better next year.” -via Miami Herald / March 13, 2025

Rod Boone: LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams are not on the injury report for tomorrow's game in Miami. Jusuf Nurkic is probable. -via Twitter @rodboone / March 9, 2025
