If Atlanta is really looking to break up its core we should go all in on Horford

If we didn't need a wing so badly I'd be there with you on that.

Yep, the Pelicans don't fit the asking price for horford/Teague/Schroeder. They want young players and picks. Pels cant afford to offer both of those demands.

I think the entire East is waiting to see if Boston finds a way to add a center.
So far it's not Howard or Horford. But look at that schedule.
Things could start changing, QUICKLY. As soon as tonight, because of the West.

Jazz get: @Mavs TONIGHT, @Pelicans going into the break.
Rockets get: @GS TONIGHT, @Portland going into the break.

Jazz wins tonight, and Rockets lose tonight... rumblings begin. Jazz win @ Pels, Rockets lose @ Portland. Rockets are going into the break, now a game out, losing 3 in a row, 2 of those to Portland, the new 8 seed. Dwight is opting out. The offers are starting to look real. FIRE UP THE TRADE MACHINE!

Celtics want Al Horford. Hawks want to move pieces, without giving up this year.
Dwight has wanted to play in ATL, and the fans WANT HIM BAD. He'd jump immediately into the playoffs... Houston needs to get something for Dwight, without completely giving up themselves.

ATL and Boston pay all the freight in picks. ATL 1st and some NOLA 2nds to Houston. Brooklyn 1st, Top 2 protected to NOLA... if not paid BOS and DAL 1sts instead.



Hawks run deep. They trade Thabo Sefolosha and Tiago Splitter in the offseason.
Decline options on Mike Scott, Shelvin Mack, and Mike Muscala.
BOOM! Cap space for creative Durant and Howard contracts!
2016-17: Howard/Millsap/Durant/Reke/Schroeder
