Chad Ford says Hawks draft Horford in new mock

[Scott]

Atlanta

Al Horford Position: PF

Height: 6-9

Weight: 235

Age: 20

School: Florida

(Horford's previous position: No. 3 to Atlanta)

The skinny: There was a minor dust-up in the Hawks' front office Wednesday, with Billy Knight pushing for Horford and some of the Hawks' ownership pushing for Yi Jianlian.

I'm told it was resolved in Horford's favor late Wednesday ... that is, if Atlanta doesn't find a way to resurrect the three-way Kevin Garnett-Amare Stoudemire deal or make another trade.

If this is true then the Amare Stoudamire trade should still be alive.

Just Say No To Yi.

[oiatlhawksfan]

you heard d'antoni, the Amare isn't getting traded.

[KB21]

I can only hope that is the case.

If the Hawks can't make a deal, Al Horford has to be the pick.

I wish people would take what he said seriously. Nobody is taking what the Suns are saying seriously and going on believing what they want to.
