Timofey Mozgov is making $15.2 million this and $16 million for the next two. So far this season, he has played in 27 games. Safe to say, Mozgov is not worth his gargantuan contract.
So that puts the Nets into a bit of a bind. He is just taking up precious cap space, cap space that can go towards a star next offseason. But getting rid of him is an extremely pricey problem.
Naturally if they waive him, Brooklyn will have to pay his salary if he is not claimed. And not a ton of teams are clamoring for a big man that does not do much.
