Reported July 23 below that New Orleans was working to trade Jordan Hawkins to Memphis.
Now that AJ Johnson’s contract can be aggregated that trade finally happens today and will provide the Pels nearly $6 million in savings to proceed with the addition of Bennedict Mathurin.

memphis always likes to take these low cost gambles. Maybe Hawkins is old news and not long for the NBA. I thought he would be better pro. He hasn't made enough shots to cover the holes for the rest of his game. Although, I like this low cost swing. Maybe a change of scenery is better for him.
It looks like AJ Johnson will be out of the league soon. I wonder if he is even two way worthy. He is just so far away. It is tough to make up all the reps 4 year college players have on him.

He needs to go to Europe and try to learn to play basketball.
