I tend to think it's Mozgov too.

Re: Hornets picked up mystery player per Kupchak
So despite the whole BS line about selling picks, we sold the 45th pick we got for Dwight.

Based on what? We don't know what happened to it.

Wouldn't we already know if there was a trade involved? I mean, I don't recall it taking days or weeks to divulge what a team received in return for the 45th pick. Every time I've seen the draft end without knowing what we got for a 2nd-rounder, that pick was just straight-up sold.

We don't own the pick yet which makes things complicated.

Not necessarily. There's no more evidence that we sold it than that we traded it.

Re: Hornets picked up mystery player per Kupchak
Just gonna assume he meant Mozgov unless he says otherwise. Don't want anyone from OKC anyways. Wouldnt mind a few players from the Clips, but I don't see us getting anyone there

Re: Hornets picked up mystery player per Kupchak
If we did sell, fine. We weren't going to have 3 rookies + draft/stash. Plus we need all $ under cap to chase MLE if we want to use it on backup PG.

Agreed, but I think we're going to use the TPE we got from Dwight to bring in another PG. I hope we can work something out with Utah. Exum decides to sign the QO and we take him in via the TPE. We then have another deal where we send Marvin and Frank to them for Burks and Jerebko.
Kemba/Monk/Graham
Lamb/Exum
Batum/Burks/Bacon
Miles/MKG/Jerebko
Zeller/Mozgov/Willy
This would free up the cap space to pay both Kemba AND Lamb/Exum next summer depending on who fits the best.

Re: RE: Re: Hornets picked up mystery player per Kupchak
So the final deal likely looks like this:
Hornets In: Mozgov, 2019 2nd (OKC), 2021 2nd (BKN)
Hornets Out: Howard
Nets In: Howard
Nets Out: Mozgov, Diallo, 2021 2nd (to CHA)
Thunder In: Diallo
Thunder Out: 2019 2nd (to CHA)
