Ya that was like 6 hours ago.

Their primary goal was Ish Smith?  Wow what an insult to Drummond.

All of these deals show what a great value Teague was/is. I'm sure he's ready for this season to end so he can be a free agent.

CJ Watson available now I'm guessing. He's not my first or second or third choice but top 10 lol

Damn near every team is willing to max him out. Trading him will never be an issue barring injury. 

Others' max deal is QUITE different from our max deal.

Will Horford be willing to take a five year deal at a little less than max to give the Hawks room to improve the team?

I think the Hawks would need to be pretty clear on who they are going to spend the $ on.  But, maybe, I guess?

Al taking less won't matter much for this offseason, unless he's taking a starting salary less than his $18 million dollar caphold which is unlikely.

Not necessarily.

Perhaps.

The Cap next year is projected to be at $109 million. Al's max is 30% of $94 mil.

If you're having sticker shock now, wait until next year.  Here's a preview - Millsap's max next year is 35% of $109 mil = $38 mil.  Horford will be making $26 mil.

Everyone's crying 'Hawks shouldn't sign that guy for that much money'.   When December hits they'll be crying 'why didn't the Hawks sign that guy".

Hyuk, hyuk.  Women always tryna spend folks' money.  Amirite?

Sheesh, now my Heat-fan BIL will be calling me later faking humility about having signed a top guy.  Then he'll be all, "Man I think the Hawks need to sign Dwight and Horford.  They waiting on KD but he ain't coming there.  Trade Teague to see what you can get (huh).  Blah, blah, blah".  Thanks for ruining my day, Hawks.  They're coming into town this weekend too so I gotta put up with this 'til about Tuesday.

We'll see if Spoelstra can figure out a way to make him earn that massive raise. Good luck with those migraines Erik.
