It's all true. The Braves traded for Moses and kept him for all of two games before trading him to Houston. Also drafted Rookie of the Year Dantley. That should have been the Braves' front line. McAdoo and Dantley flanking Moses. It still hurts to type it.
I'd forgotten that John Y. Brown owned the Braves after he owned and folded the Kentucky Colonels (your 1975 ABA Champion Kentucky Colonels, that is). He was a villain in my home state for not wanting to pay $3M to have the Colonels be part of the merger, although there has since been a lot written about some NBA franchises not wanting such a strong team to join in the merger. Brown was also married to Phyllis George.
It was such a wild period of pro basketball history.
