This seems like a mistake from New Orleans.

That's what I'm wondering, but the matching salary would have to be JV + Sato + Temple I think. Could be a situation where we immediately flip them like what we did with the pieces we got from Phoenix, seems unlikely though.

I don't know about the original source but on one of the thunder podcasts this was discussed. Apparently Pelican fans lit up the person's twitter because something was said by Griffin at some point that he didn't like/want Kemba when he was at Boston. I realize that's pretty vague but take it fwiw.

Edit- wondering if this is what they are referring to.

How are the Clippers able to offer 30 millions/year to Derozan?
