    Why does CHA do this? Dwight was actually pretty good for them. They could have just let his contract expire.

    WTF is with Kupchak's fascination of Mozgov?

    As the fake sports two GM of both of these franchises, I concur. This makes absolutely no sense for the Hornets.

    If Mozgov has this kind of value, we seriously need to consider options to get rid of Turner/Leonard. Especially if it only takes two future second round picks, AND we get back a contributing expiring deal in return?

    There are only so many Kupchaks around the league.

    This has to be a "trying to stay under the luxury tax" move. I can't see any other justification.

    People on Twitter trying to rationalize this as CHA's attempt to duck tax this year. This can't be the only way to do that, surely. They just took on another year of Mozgov

    Wow, now I'm worried that the Lakers actually could get good. Clearly a major reason for their suckage the past few years is Mitch Kupchak.

    from what I've read DH was a big locker room problem, seems like Char was desperate to move him and not pay tax this yr, it certainly cost them to do that

    Luxury tax implications. They had to do it or else they'd be into luxury tax while having a crap team.

    The other way to do that would be to offer #11 pick along with some other crap player.

    Nobody is taking anyone else.
