But if Horford cannot be secured as a free agent, expect the C’s to look into the likes of Cleveland’s Timofey Mozgov and Indiana’s Ian Mahinmi.

Here come the haters
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

So Howard is out. Now this is like plan E. Take the scrub who got bounced from Clevelands rotation. Cue the fireworks!

Well, we need a center, and I expect Danny, like most GMs, to be willing to throw absurd dollar figures at mediocre guys in exchange for a short deal.  Pretty much required with the cap where it is.

I'm not a Danny hater, farthest thing from it, but I would absolutely hate settling for the same middling free agents we always do, like these two.

It's not like you can rollover the cap room to 2017, and you have to pay the players if you're below the floor anyway.  So spend away everyone!  It'll only get crazier next summer with an even larger rising cap and a bunch of players coming off one year deals.

10/10 times I would throw stupid $ at mediocre players on short deals than give guys like Horford or Dwight Howard deals of 5 years or more (at $20m or more per).

Gross. I'd much prefer trading for Noel.

Surely we can do better than that even if we miss out on KD and AH.

This is one of those times I wish we have a "rolling on the floor laughing" emoticon.  Lol  This is too funny. 

All that hoopla about cap space and picks lol.  Mozgov and Mihimi and Jaylen Brown? Lol.  Hey, at the very least we have a center.  Moral victory!  LOL

Mozgov would be a poor fit with this team, not buying it.
