Bobby Marks on the Hornets filing a grievance with the NBA on the Mark Williams trade: “If the trade was [only] Knetch for Williams would the Lakers have passed it? Maybe. Maybe not. Let’s face it, every player in the NBA, you could find something wrong with them.”

He also goes on to say: “As one team said to me, we could trade for Giannis and say his calf is not healthy and we’re concerned here” in order to breakup the trade if they felt they overpaid. In the full video he explains that he believes there is a “99.9% chance” that the NBA will rule in favor of the Lakers because it is a slippery slope to overrule a team’s doctors even if the Lakers lied in order to preserve their assets and save themselves from overpaying in the trade.
