A tweet from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski disrupted a typical Wednesday morning. He reported of a deal made by Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks that sent Timofey Mozgov, two second-round draft picks and cash to the Charlotte Hornets for Dwight Howard. Positive feedback followed.
Adding Howard, who was waived the day after the trade, and dumping Mozgov’s contract allocates roughly $65 million in cap space for the Nets to use next summer, enough to bring on two players with between seven and nine years of experience. The class is stuffed with talent.
