  1. Tough to be a Hero when you're constantly crying out for help as Horford is doing in wanting a Center. If there is a Hero I dont think he on the Hawks just yet.

    Ayón could be our center in some games. Assuming he can be as good as he was with Mexico this summer.

  2. Jalen is an ass.

    When KD becomes a free agent: Houston's salary - Dwight 23 mil/Harden 16 mil/Parsons will probably get signed to at least 8-10 mil/plus there cap holds. Where can they SIGN him as a free agent? Even without Parsons they'll be at 50mil.

    Jalen has been just throwing crap recenlty - like Jordan will suit up and play a game with the Bobcats this season. MJ would have to sell the team b4 he can play.

    Only if he wants to play for more than one game.

  3. They really think Detroit will be able to run Drummond, Monroe, Smoove in the front court in crunch time... They also said J Brick is a top 10 forward at SF or PF. Did these idiots ever watch a Hawks game the previous 9 years? Sure he filled up the stat sheet, but let's be real. These dudes are sipping on some koolaid saying the Pistons are the 12th best team in the league. This is laughable.

  4. Horford is by far my favorite player and the franchise is now centered around him... However the trade proposal from Grantland makes a lot of sense. We would have to take on Boozer's contract until next year... However they have Charlotte's first and their own floating out there. If we could get both pics ( magically ) I would do this trade. Charlotte's pick is a guaranteed top 5.

    Coming into the 2012-2013 NBA season, the Atlanta Hawks didn’t fully know what to expect from Al Horford. In the previous season, Horford played in only 11 games, missing the majority of the season due to a shoulder injury. When Horford got on the floor last season, though, the Hawks realized quickly they had nothing to worry about.

    The 27-year-old submitted the best season of his career last year. In 74 games he averaged a phenomenal 17.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals in 37.2 minutes per gamePosted Image while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor. He was unquestionably the most reliablePosted Image player for Atlanta on both ends of the floor.

    The developersPosted Image of the upcoming NBA 2K14 don’t seem to recognize the valuePosted Image or the talent of Horford, though. As Operation Sports released a video showing the player ratings for the game, we found out that Horford is rated at just an 82. He’s still the highest-rated player on the Hawks, as he should be, but he’s not getting the respect in his all-around game that he deserves.

    For starters, Horford’s inside offense is rated at just a B. He may not be an A+, but I feel like a player with Horford’s array of post-moves and a player that shot 70.3 percent from inside of five feet last season like Horford did deserves a much better rating than just a B in that department.

    Moreover, Horford’s interior defense and rebounding are graded at just a B+. In this case, it’s not as poor of a rating as his inside offense grade, but it still feels a bit off. Horford was incredibly effective on defense for AtlantaPosted Image last season, with the Hawks playing 1.3 points per 100 possessions better defensively with Horford on the floor. More than that, his rebounding was a key factor in how the Hawks ran their show last season.

    There are quite a few ratings in NBA 2K14 that are bit puzzling. Though Horford’s is one of them, this is also somewhat of a trend with Horford. Outside of Hawks bloggers/writers and wise people who watch basketballPosted Image, Horford often goes underappreciated for what he does. The developers at 2K SportsPosted Image seem to fall in that category of people who don’t recognize his talent.
