The Charlotte Hornets have traded center Dwight Howard to the Brooklyn Nets, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Nets are sending the Hornets center Timofey Mozgov and two future second-round draft picks, with cash consideration as well, league sources said.
Howard, 32, has one year remaining on the three-year, $70.5 million deal he signed with the Atlanta Hawks in 2016. Atlanta traded Howard and a second-round pick to Charlotte in 2017 for Marco Belinelli, Miles Plumlee and a second-round draft pick.
Mozgov, 31, has two years and $32.7 million remaining on the four-year, $64 million deal he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016. Mozgov was traded with D’Angelo Russell to Brooklyn in 2017 for Brook Lopez and the draft pick that became Kyle Kuzma.
That makes three teams in three years. Kupchak reunites with Mozgov.
