Vasa was never going to be on the roster, so moving him for a veteran on an expiring contract plus two second-round picks isn't a bad way to bring in some value.
Tracker has been updated: #Hornets are acquiring Pat Connaughton and two second-round from the Milwaukee Bucks for Vasa Micic, league sources confirmed to The Observer.

Was supposed to be a Hornet about 3 times and never happened.
Oddest part of the Myles Turner deal is that for some reason he was rumored to be available in trades for years, which made no sense, and finally he was a key part to an NBA FInals squad and the Pacers let him go.

Ah, memories.
Largest waive and stretch in NBA history. Nearly triples the Nicolas Batum waiver by Charlotte years ago.

As a Mets since 1984, can't wait until we start celebrating Shohei Ohtani day for 30 years after he retires.
Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to all who celebrate! May someone invest in you the wait the Mets invested in him ⚾ #BobbyBonillaDay #MLB.
