ATL held its own in the playoffs against a pretty talented Pacers squad. Add a healthy Horford, more seasoned Schroder, Adreian Payne, and Thabo Sefolosha to that squad, and I think we've improved by quite a good margin. And we still have $11 million to spend. It wasn't the flashiest move to make, but if anything, we can say that our squad is still better than it was last year with the subtraction of Lou Williams and the addition of Payne/Thabo.
I don't think I like the $ figures of Thabo's contract either, but at this point the market fukked us over with the contracts handed out to Gordon, Bradley, etc.
