Makes no sense, if anything, I can see him going to OKC or Warriors, but Celtics or wizards? Give me a break.... They don't have to cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has to go, I would much more prefer he go out West. It's almost like Al's agent picked two teams that might cause the Hawks to up their offer. I mean, it's not like there's several WC teams with interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazer Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Everyone needs to settle down. I'm a Realtor, and this is just negotiation 101. "I'll get up and walk outta here RIGHT now....." Relax, ignore those trying to get a scoop (wrong 99% of the time), the Hawks obviously aren't tanking and Budcox have a plan. Whether Bawse buys is up to him. And the Hawks will survive if he decides not to buy..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Bawse buys is up to him. And the Hawks will survive if he decides not to buy..... Agree. No matter what, we covered our bases and addressed a possible hole at center with Dwight. Horford obviously makes us better if he comes back, but we can't make him sign at gun point. And it does appear it's all a bit of negotiating tactics at this point. If it really was down to Boston and Washington, he would have never called us and told us he would have a decision by tonight. We are obviously still a big part of that decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 2, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have it on good authority that if Al goes to Washington or Boston.. They will suck!! We got the money. We have a championship quality team. Why go elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told @kg01 that when Danny wasn't able to move that 3rd pick in the draft for a elite scorer, that the Celtics were coming after Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sturt Posted July 2, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 So, yeah.... never fail to understand the concept of posturing, and the power of putting the word out that the Celtics and the Bullets--two of your bigger competitors the last two playoffs--have emerged as the leading options.

RandomFan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I just don't understand the shopping Millsap angle. Makes no sense to me unless we are getting a stud SF on a cheap rookie contract back in the deal - which seems unlikely. This only makes sense if Millsap has made it clear he's signing for top dollar next year over staying here where he's been successful and in a stable organization.

atljonesbro Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I like the idea of getting horford back and some valuable assets for Millsap rather than just flat out losing horford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomFan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Although now that I think about it, I wonder if this could be why it's such a tough decision for Al? If knowing that Horford coming back is going to lead to us trading out Millsap, a friend, that would probably be a hard thing to come to grips with.
