I doubt we are going to hear anything on Horford until after the Durant meeting with Boston, at least. 

 

I doubt Durant signs there. How can he think that He Horford and Thomas can beat Golden State or Cleveland? It's not going to happen.

Yep, came in here to post that. Looks like Al is still a Hawk for life. Good news.

But the bad news is we've probably seen the last of Millsap. I just hope we get some young/good assets in return.

And LOL at reading the comments on the WOJ tweet. Celtics fans tears are so salty!!!

We'll probably see a lot of movement now that the cap is officially set.

Full max?

Dang.

I have to think they received an offer for Sap that sealed the whole deal.

A little confused by the wording.   Does "Falling Back" mean "Backing down"?

They were in the lead, supposedly... so, now, falling back.

[RandomFan]

Yeah, backing down would be my assumption.

Sooo, now....

Let's discuss what we hope to get for Millsap? Obviously we will have to get salary cap relief out of it. I would assume a draft pick would probably be involved. What else?

Yeah, what sturt said.  However, that calls into question the notion that they were ever "leading".  Were prolly just waiting for the Hawks counteroffer to Alice

Back the hell up Boston lol...COME ON HAWKS!!!!!

Can't completely assume there's a deal for Sap that they like that is better than a deal for Splitter/THjr/Scott that they like.... right?

[NBASupes]

Until I see Horford agrees to whatever amount of cash, I am not partying yet. 

[Guest]

Also I hope we either get a boatload for SAP or just trade splitter THJ and Scott

A first round draft pick, a backup PG, and a vet'ish SF to guide the young guys.  Maybe a dead-eye shooter at SG or SF.  Something like that.

Non-sponsored solicitation, but you guys should pony up for premium membership.  The infinite likes are money.

How about this.

Trade Millsap to Miami in a sign and trade for Wade?  Cut Scott to make more room.

Dennis - Wade - Baze - Horford - Dwight

@TheNorthCydeRises:

No, any trade for Sap has to create the room to sign Horf... bringing Wade here doesn't accomplish that... or am I missing something?
