A Rondo&Bass for Horford&Teague trade would be a high risk high gain one. We may end up with D12-Smoove-Rondo trio with plenty of shooters around them. However, we may also end up with Rondo only, too. I would do it and I feel like Boston would do it too. They like these type of weird trades. Besides they are in win now mode and a line up of KG-Horford-Pierce-Bradley-Teague is pretty decent for the East.

I really don`t like what I see from Howard this year. Of course it may be due to the circus in LA or he needs more time for healing but what if this is who he will be for the rest of his career?

Comments of Vitale you mentioned starts at 2:40. The whole video is very depressing to watch though.

This thread goes to Hawksquawk classics section. Simply epic fail.

I have a very bad feeling that we are gonna end up with Gasol in the end.

I know it is just one game but Horford needs to show more heart and hustle.

Curry and Gordon are two players that we should stay away from. They are injured all the time. Gordon is already out indefinitely.

Always liked him, I hope he keeps up the good work.

Unfortunately I agree with this. I expect us to offer something similar to what OKC offered to Harden (4 yr - 53 million) and I doubt he will take it. He will push for the maximum.

Harden, Gibson, Holiday, Curry and DeRozan signed extensions with their teams.

Magic is such a pathetic franchise. Seriously what is their purpose in this league?

Obviously there are many PG`s that are better than him but the problem is that they are not playing for us :-)

I think we will hope Smoove, Horford and Teague to elevate their games now that JJ is out of town.

Love has already signed an extension (4 years 60 M) last year. His 4th year is player option and Love has already began to complain about Wolves FO. Wolves are not winning anything. They wasted their lottery picks for Wes Johnson, J-Flynn and Derrick Williams. They will be like us in the West: playoff team, second round at best.

Bynum is a max contract guy (even though he does not deserve it) and we are not going to sign a max contract guy from free agency, period. 25 million is a lot of money to leave on the table for an injury prone player like Bynum and he will certainly not do it for Atlanta. He will go ahead and sign with Sixers for maximum like Howard signs with Lakers. That is why I thought the only way to get Howard was through Horford trade. 25 million extra would probably keep him here like the D-Will case. Time to come back to reality and move on...

I think Orlando winning the draft lottery next year is almost a lock (like New Orleans). I don`t think that their winning percentage will even matter :-)

Well, 3 years later they will have a lot of cap space to build around Howard. Guess who will be FA in 3 years ---> Kevin Love (UCLA).

Pietrus would be a good option. A good defender, athletic, can hit open shots. If he settles for vet min, it would be great for us.

I don`t know whether he can play SF but Delfino is currently out of his mind against Lithuania. 6 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter and he is already 6-8 from the 3pt line. Just saying :-)

I wanna attend the Utah game to cheer for Marvin. I wish all the luck to him in Salt Lake City.

That is why I would risk Horford for DH12 with no guarantee. Once he is here, he will probably resign.

This Jarrod Rudolph guy confirms that Howard is willing to sign an extension with Lakers. It means Lakers-Cavs-Magic trade will probably be completed today. Let`s see how it affects our future plans.

Voted for the 09-10 season. Bucks and Magic series were simply terrible but the regular season was awesome. We were great at home, I never forget that Suns game thanks to the buzzer beater of Jamal.10-11 was just the opposite. This time playoffs were awesome but regular season was depressing. I was in that Hornets game which we lost by I don`t know 40 points?

As the fake ASG says, we are seriously heading towards an All-Atlantan line-up. Next target: Thaddeus Young.

How about Jarron Collins?
