Source: Hawks are currently exploring sign and trade options for Al Horford & trades for Paul Millsap

[gsuteke]

If the Celts and Wizards are in the lead it's all about the money to Al and I can't blame him nor can I blame Atlanta for not offering 5 years 150 million to him.

If Horford bolts, we better get a sign and trade going.

 

Still, so far we have swapped Teague and potentially Horford for Dwight and gave Bazemore more cap space.

Man... It's getting intense here at the squawk today!

[WraithSentinel]

Well this should be a fun day one way or another.

I don't understand this one from CViv.

If anything, it would appear the ball is in Al's court, not the Hawks. Unless he's suggesting Al is waiting on the Hawks to sweeten their offer, and is just using Boston and Washington as leverage - which I've suggested he might be doing.

I think he's still covering the new practice facility. He literally means, "the ball is in the Hawks court". Maybe Al left his ball there, I dont know. He can't contribute any significant insights into anything with unknown quantities or that might have more than one outcome, like free agency.

Which is what the Hawks should be doing with D12, Sap, and Horf, instead of looking to trade away what might be our best player.

Someone just text me that the Lakers offered D'Angelo Russell 

[NBASupes]

No, he's not a source, just someone who's like me. He talks to people and tells me who's available.

My man is texting me some crazy shit. Dude is usually okay. I don't post nothing he say causes he's basically me but he said he's hearing Gordon Heyward and all types of craziness is being mentioned for offers for Millsap. I would say, I don't believe it but there is a part of me that wants him to be right.

I know it probably wouldn't happen, but I was actually just looking at Gordon and thinking how nice it would be to have him here if Millsap left. But his salary wouldn't provide enough cap relief, and also has a player option to be a free agent next season. So we would be in the same boat as with Millsap almost. Not happening.

Well like Gay, he asked for a trade. So it's possible

Well nows the time to make significant changes to the roster. Good time to see how pissed Ressler and others were when Hawks got swept vs Cavs. Ressler sounded pissed when the Cavs embarrassed the Hawks.

That's A LOT harder to do with 3 older All Stars vs. 3 younger non-All Stars. Vucevic and Ikaba are making 23.5 million combined next year.
