Marvin Williams ‘never’ demanded trade

Posted Feb 22, 2012
Marvin Williams could not have been any clearer. The Hawks forward did not demand a trade nor has he complained about his role on the team. Never. Here it is in his words: “I haven’t even been here,” said Williams who rejoined the team after missing Monday’s game in Chicago. “I buried my cousin on Monday and woke up Tuesday to six phone calls saying that I requested a trade. This is news to me." (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
