I remember be genuinely surprised when Horford signed. At least 10 teams must have been offering the max, including Atlanta. One wonders why he decided to move really (Teague thing maybe?), but the whole "sports mecca" thing seems to have had some effect at the very least. Certainly Jae and Isaiah had an effect, but possibly Papi and maybe even Hanley.

Really excited to see what happens this year: the most excited since '07.

Gotta think that Blake would seriously consider a move east if the Clips fall apart this year.

I know others will disagree but here goes:  We don't need all the distraction and turmoil Blake would bring.  We are doing great with our current plan:  building thru the draft.  Kinda glad Durant didn't come, would have ruined current chemistry with everyone deferring to him.
