Mark Williams may soon be on the move.
According to Evan Sidery, the Charlotte Hornets are once again exploring trade options for their 23-year-old center after a previously agreed-upon deal with the Los Angeles Lakers fell through at the February deadline.
The Hornets are now seeking a similar return: a young player or late first-rounder in exchange for Williams, who still has two years of team control left on his rookie-scale deal, a $6.2 million salary next season, and an $8.77 million qualifying offer in 2026.
