Atlanta isn't dealing Horford, period

but if we offered up Humphries' expiring and said "how many draft picks do you want?" what do you think their answer would be?

If I were them, my answer would be: "Let's stick a pin in that idea and revisit it after the drawing for the lottery when we know exactly how much your picks are worth."

I think their answer would be "include Sullinger for starters."

I like him, but his health problems are a huge concern for me. Not giving a lot of value for him.
