Throughout my time as a Hawks fan (pretty much since the year Horford got drafted), we have never had a solid true center. Zaza is good off the bench, not as a starter. I truly believe that getting Asik, a defensive complement to Al Horford, would be a great success under Danny Ferry. My bold prediction is that if we start Horford at the PF for all of next year, he will average 20+ ppg and will emerge into more of a star than he already is. The signing of Tyreke or Iguodala will give us that player that can finish games for us (along with Lou) and can take that last second shot. They don't have to be prime time scorers to be useful to us. So looking at the lineup (assuming we resign Teague): Teague Iguodala/Evans - Lou FA SF Horford Asik I really think this allows us to compete and develop at the same time. What are the chances of this happening? Does anyone else agree with my prediction about Horford?
