Horford next?

[konkmv]

Am I the only one that feels that horford will be traded soon? Danny obviously has a long term plan... irving smart hayward brown Tatum will be a solid group in 2 years.. i believe he is expecting something I cannot see.. if pelicans fail to get in the playoffs I see them trading cousins... ?

BINGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think he is about to flip Horford for Cousins.

The chance of this happening is probably less than zero.

At this point it makes sense he'd be involved in another trade. He's good but certainly doesn't fit the timetable for this team now being by far the oldest.

Next year maybe. Even more likely if we end up with the LA pick.

That being said he fits Steven's offense very well. I'm not exactly sure who we'd try and trade him for that would make sense.

At this stage anything is possible. He really is our oldest core player though. Not sure how much value he has.

hahaha Horford isn't going anywhere.. he is what makes Brads system work and we don't have a replacement for him with Kelly gone.

who knows? however IF it makes us better as a team like he did with kyrie i am all for it!

Marc Gasol?

Kidding, kidding.... kinda.

I sure hope so...

Sorry Al, but with Kyrie and Hayward out there we are one legit star away from being a contender.  Horford isn't that guy, but is taking up his cap space. 

14 points and 7 rebounds on 44% or so shooting isn't going to cut it for $30M a year.  Considering we now have Hayward and Morris replacing Crowder and Amir (who both ranks near the bottom of the team in usage rate) I can foresee Horford's touches (and hence, scoring numbers) to drop even further.  I would not be surprised at all if Horford ends up averaging 12 / 6 this year at the center spot.

[SHAQATTACK]

I would not be shocked

IF the right deal,comes along


Davis

fair argument based on what he is getting paid

I can see Horford ending up as a 14/7/6 guy for a couple seasons. Horford may not put up immense stats but he is essential to Stevens system in a ball distribution and pick setting sense and still provides decent rim protection at 1.5 blocks per game. And...he is an essential part of the leadership and locker room pressence this team needs.

That said, Horford and the LA pick for another superstar sounds good to me.

it's Davis not cousins. Cousins was flipped for a 2nd rounder
