He's a really good player not special though.
Go find us that guy, if you can't, we keeping this one. I would love to have an elite scorer to play with Al. Until we find one, we have to develop that. That guy ain't Al, I agree but Al is special. He's the piece you need regardless.He's a max player, right? If the answer is yes then he's judged by what he does in the playoffs.
For the second year in a row he shrank in the playoffs, and his game is not at all conducive to leading the team past Cleveland, he's easily neutralized against teams that gameplan for him, which is why he's yet to win a single game against LeBron led teams.
He is not a franchise player, he is not a guy you build your team around, he is a really good 2nd or 3rd option that is being used as a franchise player. You're not going to see Horford at this age go for 30 and 20 and win a playoff game, and if he can't do that I don't want him getting 30% of my cap when I do not have a franchise player on my team. We're talking about a dude that just recently had a 1 rebound game against the Cavs, and you want to max him out?
Listen, if the Thunder sign him it's huge, because they have 2 guys that are head and shoulders better than him and he assumes the role he's meant for, but if he's your best player then you're not going anywhere.
I could see Ainge going after him
Pau said he wants to contend so I could only see spurs or warriors being on that list.
I think he wants to win a ring? Celtics are 3 years away from that stage
I gave knicks exception cuz of phil
Yeah I don't think the odds are high of him coming here or anything.
Spurs seem like the favorites but I do question if they really want a defensive frontcourt of Aldridge & Pau

You're going to end up like the Grizzlies
You need to know when to move on, and locking up a 30 year old to a 5 year deal that isn't good enough to win you a title, but isn't bad enough to get you a great lottery pick is time to move on.

Yep, same here. I think Lin is the most attainable. I've wanted Horford for a long time, but I highly doubt he comes here.
We have a legit player development model, if we didn't, I would have to agree. But we develop player better than any team in the NBA.You're going to end up like the Grizzlies

One of the great things Danny Ferry did before he got fired was get rid of bad contracts (Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson), made very shrewd contract offers (Millsap & DeMarre from Utah) and relied on the coaching staff to build them up. One thing I have a huge fear of is that this GM and Bud undoing that by committing long term to good but not great players with max deals. There is no measure where Al Horford is a max player but I know they're loading up the Brinks truck to Horford's house as we speak
Personally I'd rather blow it up, but the most of my Hawks brethren would rather keep it as is and bring Al back at a max deal

Dammit parkermost likely worried that he won't be the primary point guard. Mills is obviously getting traded and likely is green
In the end of the Spurs really want Conley they can get him.
I don't think Pop is going to be on some "Tony has to get his minutes" shyt.
There is no way the Spurs are trading Parker though...so if Conley is asking for that to be done then the Spurs should move on ASAP.
