I believe the East power ranking as of right now goes...

 

1.Cleveland

2.Indiana

3.Miami (unless Wade is actually leaving)

4.Toronto

5.Atlanta

 

but if we get Al we jump right back over Miami and Toronto and we claim our rightful place in the top 4 of the conference. Also Detroit is sorta scary if they can improve their bench... Just saying watch out for them! 

I think if we get Al back, we are better than anyone except the Cavs in the East. I like what Indy did at improving the PG position by a few spots; but Al Jefferson and Thad do not impress me; both are offensive minded players and defensive liabilities. I think Indy will fly past an aging Miami and be 3rd with us battling the Raps for 2nd.

If the Raps beat us out for 2nd it will be because they are in the easiest division in the East and ours could be the toughest. I do like what SVG has done in Detroit and think they are on their way to being respectable again.

LOL I hope we end up signing him. This is getting out of hand.

Now it just says ☺Goes to 76ers

If Atlanta can get Baze and Al back. 

Dennis/FA

Baze/Korver/Tim/Bembry

Millsap/Thabo/Prince

Horford/Moose

Howard/Edy

 

Were clearly in 2nd but Cleveland gonna have some extreme comp. Indy and Atlanta look extremely dangerous.

That's a poor shooting team though.

Al-slander. Disgusting.

That's the biggest issue.... You have a system where outside shooting is important, but few outside shooters.

If we get Al back, and a half decent backup PG with our MLE, then we are right there fighting with Cleveland for the top spot again. Even with losing Baze. Cleveland is losing players too. Already lost Mozgov, going to lose Delly. Might lose JR Smith.

With or without Horford the Hawks don't get by Cleveland.  They still don't even win a game in a playoff series.

Howard signing is a lateral move if we don't resign Al

[Colin]

Keep Horf...Lose Bazemore...bring back Joe...and then John Jenkins?

Naw, it's a move backwards. Dwight even have a better stat year but our record gonna have us fighting for a playoff spot. Getting Al is massive for our team success.

Celtic fans are starting to worry that the meeting with Al happened hours ago and still no news of him signing with them.

They've had their hopes up over there on the Celtics realgm forum. It's going to be a sizable blow to them if Al stays.

I thought you were on your way out?

Im 99% sure that Horford would only go to the C's if Durant had already committed. 

Why else on earth would he go there? We can give him a 4 year Max deal too AND were better....by a lot.
