Woj is just twisting the knife now.

Eh, I've moved on. Milsap trade?

[CoachBo]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why Ainge's draft day strategy screwed the franchise.

Again.

When will he ever wise up?

Woj: Boston and Washington have rapidly lost hope of Al Horford leaving the Hawks, league sources tell @TheVertical.

There goes Al.

Shocker

Atlanta's long been in the driver's seat with Horford--if they put up the money.

And Al Horford moves onto the list of my most hated players in the league.

[JSD]

Honestly, I love where I work, I live within my means and comfortably, but if another organization is going to offer me 25% more money to do the same thing and work the same hours, then I'm out.

Let's not forget to factor in the fact that moving and relocating sucks. Can't blame Horford here.

Boston's long understood it would take a second star--think Horford, Jimmy Butler--to lure KD. A Horford return to ATL would be crippling.

I don't understand the focus on other teams players in general.   We need to bring back real rivalries.

Well, Danny, maybe you should've made a move one way or the other at the draft. If we get neither Horford nor Durant, then this is just another failed year of you to truly define what direction we're moving in.

Either use our assets to trade for a star or use some of our actual players to move up in the draft or get another high draft pick to build around and go young. With the contracts the Lakers gave out this summer, are you telling me that we couldn't have got the number two pick and even something like Russell if we offered up some of our assets like IT, Crowder, and Bradley? That would've made the Lakers a more attractive free agent destination, and they would've got better players for cheaper.

But, nope, now if we strike out again we're stuck in limbo for another year neither fully rebuilding nor contending, and we'll ultimately end up first round fodder, again..

[JumpingJudkins]

If the Hawks really do have to trade Millsap to make room for Horford, doesn't seem to make much sense, because Millsap is better.

But would someone please explain to me why Horford "doesn't fit" with Howard? Howard blocks shots and rebounds, allowing Horford to stay outside and shoot. Seems like a great fit, and I know some people on here were calling for us to sign both Horford and Howard.

Apparently we should have tried harder on Dwight, because it seems like our chance at a difference-maker is slipping away.

Really don't want Sully to be our best remaining option.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the classic troll. He's nowhere to be seen all this time. The MOMENT we hear this stuff, he comes out and goes back to his age-old "Danny is bad" sentence.
