If this holds true so be it. Al had a chance for more money from us playing at PF and chose to play Center for Boston instead. Time to move on and address our bench needs. I will look forward to playing Boston this year.

How?  We're capped out.

"I want to play PF!"

"I didn't say get the biggest named center in the league! I'm leaving to play center in Boston!"

"This 70 million can buy a lot of towels to wave!"

i cant beleive we f***ing did this

[RWF]

NO starting SF (unless it's Thabo)

No back-up PG

Muscala is our back-up PF

No cap room left

Time to move on. I'm tired of watching us get rocked in the post because Al started moving outside the last two years.

So they only wanted him on the team for further roster additions, and not for his play on the court? Got it...

No they wanted to add to the roster with him on the team, which they could have done with his Bird rights.  He royally screwed us.

[Thomas]

Celtics have hated Al since we met them in the playoffs in their title run, especially Heinsohn who has always called Al a non star. Reap what you have sowed Al and make nice with the jerk that has always disrespected you. The enemy owns you now. Good luck.

Wow Horford is wack. Lost all respect for him . Finally had a chance to do something big in Atl and he leaves . The Celtics will never win a ship with him unless they get Durant.

Its alright. Sap gets the needed help from a real center.  The only damage is Alice forcing the Hawks to dangle Sap. Sap should get over it though because he is coming up for a contract next year.  Hawks should look to convert that cap space into finding a scorer. If they do that, they are ok.  Like has been said by others, Sap/Howard is the matchup you want going against Cleveland.

[Marvin24Williams]

How the hell are we supposed to know Sap/Howard is a downgrade from last year when they havent played a game yet? Losing Horford sucks and with the way he did it, he honestly can go f himself. But damn, some of tall are acting like its the end of the world. Chill

[Kimsey]

This is who some of you put your trust in. Traitorous Danny Manning bastard. I'm sure Tito is happy right now. Hope you tear your third breast, you bish.

[Afro]

I've never been so angry at a player before. 

Idc that he's gone. This was as bad as you could handle a FA. This is worse than the decision.

Ever heard of trades?

On one hand, I'm dissapointed Al left over such a small amount and on the other hand, I'm dissapointed in the Hawks not going the extra mile to get the deal done.

We have our starters and most of our bench, we need to fill out the bench with a BU PG.

What cap space?

What have we ever had to be positive about? 1 ECF in history we got swept badly in?

Here is the thing this team right now took a step back. Howard and Millsap are not as good as Horford and Millsap, plain and simple. They still need a backup PG, a better wing player, and now scoring. This team is not better suited to beat the Cavs at all. In fact we seem to be worse off now. I amean interested to see if they can still either a. Make a move or B. Trade Millsap and blow it up while collecting picks.

I disagree, Dwight hasn't played next to a PF as versatile as Millsap before and Dwight is a lot more of a post presence than Horf when playing against real centers.

I don't think this team could do much worse than losing 4-0 twice if they were to play a series against the cavs today. I know we'll really miss what Horford brought to those series.

Who we trading? Can't trade Baze, can't trade Howard. Dennis is our only PG.

 

You trading Millsap? Outside of him, you are not getting anything for anybody else.

[High5]

I'm disappointed in the way it played out and Horford is (was?) one of my favorite athletes, but ultimately I'm not sad about missing out on that contract. He's a #1 or even a #2. If Boston doesn't get KD then they're going to be disappointed in the long run. It is what it is. People have been CRYING for Horford (or "Alice") to be gone from this team for years now, so it's hilarious to see the reactions from those same posters now that it has happened. Further proof some people only know how to whine.

[Jody23]

Millsap can't be too happy right about now.  Just awful.
