Broussard's Sources Tell Him Dwight Wants ATL , Can Danny Get Horford?

[SHAQATTACK]

Also ......

I frankly think the Celtics absolutely CRUsH the Hawks if they get Howard . .....the Hawks are more dangerous. With Horford IMO.

Horford on the Heat would be a bad thing.....ugh


Howard on the Heat ......that's great news ......especially if they give up goatside......

Howard and Wade are so old ...no way they don't fall apart .

 Howard to Atlanta
 Horford Teauge to Miami
 Whiteside Anderson to Houston
 
 From Around the Horn. Just now.

Great for Miami and Houston. Laughable for Atlanta.

Wouldn't make any sense as-is. 

They'd give up their Horford rental for a Howard rental, but give up Teague as well just cuz?

[Ilikesports17]

Unless a mountain of firsts are heading to Atlanta this is a bogus rumor.

Many on there think it can happen, including myself.

Howard goes home.
Houston gets something for nothing.
Miami gets MUCH stronger.
We get shut out>>>>>>>SUCKS for us.

Maybe someone can merge.

Howard 'goes home', so w can opt out and ask them to overpay this summer, or sign somewhere else? When Horford is an excellent player and wants to stay? Not to mention Teague, who was an all-star last year, getting dumped for nothing?

If Atlanta made this deal without a bunch of other assets coming there way, it'd be a bad bad deal for them. I don't buy it.

I hope this doesn't happen. I want Horford, and if he gets traded to Miami, I don't think he ever leaves.

I haven't heard anything about Horford wanting to stay in Atlanta. The fact that he's on the market implies that the Hawks are AT BEST unsure of that and at worst know he wants to bolt.

Howard, seemingly through Broussard this morning, indicates he wants to be in Atlanta. Therefore, those two being traded with Howard going to Atlanta doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. And Horford to Miami disgusts me but makes a lot of sense.

And if Dragic goes to Houston ( kind of ironic with Morey, huh?) with Whiteside and filler, I can see Atlantic sending Teague to Miami, especially if Winslow comes to Atlanta.

I agree. Huge Hispanic community and tha POS Riley will give him 5/$145 next year. That would recall puss me off.

[vjcsmoke]

Now is the time to get Horford IF he is on Danny's radar.  If we facilitate Howard by throwing in pieces/picks, and get Horford in return.   I'd love to see IT, AB, Crowder, PF _____, Horford lineup.

I just saw a tweet that I don't like very much:

I'm told Rockets, Heat, Hawks discussing 3-way. Howard to ATL, Horford and Teague to Mia, Dragic and Whteside, Anderson to Hou.

Anybody know how reliable this guy, Spolane is?

Also this:

Adam Spolane ‏@AdamSpolane 56m56 minutes ago

Deal is not imminent. Atlanta wants Miami to add Winslow, but I'm told Riley won't trade him

And a little backing off?

Adam Spolane ‏@AdamSpolane 47m47 minutes ago

Just so we're clear, I'm not saying the deal is going to happen, I'm saying it's being discussed. Lots of moving parts

That freezes us out of H and H if it happens. I HATE/LOVE this time of year!!!!

Horford and Teague is too much for Howard, which is why Atlanta wants Winslow.
