The NBA offseason continues to be crazy and some are even saying that it’s even more impressive than the regular season. We can’t lie. We are really enjoying it. On Tuesday there were two big trades that kept people talking. They included the Lakers, Nets, Hawks and Hornets. Did you hear about them?
The Lakers and Nets made a deal that included D’Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov going to the Nets for Brook Lopez essentially. The Lakers also receive the 28th pick in the NBA draft to go along with Lopez. Los Angeles is clearly trying to clear some cap space and make way for the possibility of Paul George soon.
The Hawks and Hornets orchestrated a deal that sent Dwight Howard and the 31st overall pick in this year’s NBA draft for Marco Belinelli, Miles Plumlee and the 41st pick. Many are saying the Hawks are dumping Howard and his big contract over the next three years for cap space. Will they go into tank mode or will they try to resign Paul Millsap this offseason?
