Strange move by the Hornets. They waived Pat Connaughton and signed Malaki Branham.
Now they're bringing Connaughton back, and waived Branham.
It was a roster limits issue. To do the trade with ORL that brought in some salary with draft capital as a reward, they needed an empty roster slot, but they had 15. So they had to waive someone (PC) to open a roster slot. After they got the incoming player, they waived him, and resigned the player (PC) they had in the first place.
