Charlotte Hornets are essentially doing a salary dump, which is ironic because that is how Dwight Howard went from Atlanta to Charlotte. He's been traded to the Brooklyn Nets for Timofey Mozgov and two second round picks. Howard averaged 16.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game at 32 years old, and was particularly strong after the all-star game (18.7 ppg and 12.3 rpg).
The side affect to this trade is that it likely guarantees a season of tanking unless the Hornets have something else in the works. Charlotte still has a handful of other bad contracts on the books, so this could be the start of trying to unload as many as possible, though the Hornets have never been a free agent destination.
