The Charlotte Hornets have been in contact with the NBA as they explore options to dispute the Los Angeles Lakers' failed physical assessment of Mark Williams, sources tell ESPN. The Williams/Dalton Knecht trade was nixed Saturday, and now Hornets weigh avenues to challenge.

Oh wow. This is unprecedented right? Can the trade be suddenly allowed post deadline?

It's similar to when a trade is completed, an injury is found, and a team asks for extra compensation.  I know that has happened.

If Charlotte wins this, they'll probably end up with some second rounders and cash, rather than the trade being pushed through.

Yeah, the trade is dead.  Rescinded trades are so rare I don?t know  if there is a history of a team challenging one and getting compensation.  Rooting for Charlotte, tho.  I think the Lakers had buyer?s remorse and tried to back out of the deal.
