I'll be honest, I'm not sure how all that works but I would rather have
an extra roster spot (even if it means paying Mozgov to not be on the team) then having him sit on the bench doing nothing.
Toronto do not have a ton of space left on their first - team
roster for 2017 (though they may be handed two
extra spots before the start of the season), which you would imagine they would have to offer to tempt players away from Champions League clubs.
