Rick Bonnell: I got a couple more questions lately about trade value of Hornets’ expiring contracts. Marvin Williams’ would be the most tradeable one. Guessing for a second-round pick, if it happened. That’s what Hornets gave up in the past for Courtney Lee or Jeremy Lamb.

Rick Bonnell: I’ve also been asked, “If Marvin is traded, when most likely?” No telling. Key is another team justifying his remaining $15 million salary and what Hornets would have to take back to make something happen. That is probably more complicated than any trade compensation.
Rick Bonnell: With @Charlotte Hornets looking at starting Miles Bridges at power forward, I think there’s a good chance Hornets would trade Marvin Williams’ expiring contract. Marvin is such a pro and could still help a contender. If Hornets could get back a young player or a future pick, makes sense.
Marvin Williams to opt in

Rick Bonnell: Marvin Williams hasn’t played or practiced since telling James Borrego after the loss to the Utah Jazz he was too injured (right foot strain) to help. Based on what Marvin told me Sunday, he definitely won’t play in Cleveland and it’s highly unlikely Wednesday versus Magic.
