The Dwight Howard-Mozgov trade to me is head scratching. I'm assuming Mozgow gets waived. I don't understand the cap well enough to wrap my head around this.
Thank you.
No problem. They also will save 17M in 2019-20 since Mozgov’s contract has an extra year on it creating two max contract spots for Brooklyn.
The Hornets are also ducking tax issues next year, as I understand it.
Damn, a lot of different facets to this trade.
Charlotte is an example of what sub-prime NBA franchises should not do.
They overpaid FA's to get them to come.
They paid their rookie RFA's too much to keep them.
Dennis Lindsey was smart to jettison Rodney when he did.
The trade looks pretty bad for Charlotte, but overall, its not too bad. The salary cap is expect to spike from $101 to about $109 in 2019/20. If the cap spikes, then so will the luxury tax. In other words, Mozgov doesn't sting as much and they probably avoid the luxury two years in a row.
Also, Dwight helps them win and Mozgov doesn't. If Charlotte trades Kemba, they can dump a bad contract in the process and probably full on tank next season. They could plan on being relevant in 2020, 2021, 2022 when some of these super teams might start aging...

They didn't really save anything. They got on a longer term contract of a worse player in order to avoid luxury tax this year but will pay 17M more next year. This is such a Charlotte trade...Charlotte saved around 8M in the trade and got two second-round picks out of it as well. Brooklyn is under the cap that’s why it was able to happen.
After many years of some of the worst moves an organization could make, The Nets have been quietly building a case as one of the more impressive organizations in the league. They keep digging out these little victories out of nothing.
Sure. But I have been enjoying their progress from afar. They've been killing it on almost every move.Necessity is the mother of invention. They have been very creative with what little they had to work with.
