If Howard signs with LAC I think they would trade Jordan for a SF.
Al Horford was not ready to think about his future.
Not minutes after the Hawks were swept from the NBA playoffs by the Cavaliers for the second straight year. However, the longest-tenured Hawks player will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. The center will be coveted on the open market. The Hawks have the cap space to sign the veteran to a maximum five-year deal. Those are all issues to be worked out in the coming months.
Although he may have played his last game in a Hawks uniform, on Sunday night Horford just wanted to think about one more team meeting. The Hawks will have exit interviews and locker clean out on Monday.

“I’m not thinking about that,” Horford said. “We just had a tough loss. My main priority tomorrow is to meet with the team and the coaches one last time (for the season) and go from there and figure out how we can be a better group.”
Horford did answer a question about his time in Atlanta. He has been with the organization for nine seasons after being the No. 3 overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft out of the University of Florida.
“It means a lot,” Horford said of Atlanta. “I’ve set up here with my family. We all live here. We live here in the summer. We live here year-round. I’m very grateful for all the people here. They have taken me in from the very first day, even though I was a Gator. They loved me. I really love the city.”
I still think you could pull countless articles just like this during a star players last season with the team. This is how it usually happens, rarely do you get somebody like Lebron who shits on the city and leaves disrespectfully.
I didn't watch it, but you have to ask - Why isn't he already in shape? You just played an 87 game season.
That was a good article, but I'm still not sold on Horfords FA being Marc Gasol like in the sense that he's going into it with the intention of signing a max with the Hawks. Horford might at least meet with other teams.
It'd be a Hack-a-Buffet
And from what I saw, there seems to be quite a few Spur fans who are mad about that.
I was reading some of this stuff last night. Made me laugh.
Omg....
I wonder if we could get Marc if Conley left.It's funny that they mention Memphis, because that's ANOTHER team that needs to blow it up
I think Conley is out, so Memphis is going to be left with an injured Marc Gasol and an aging Zach Randolph. They need to trade those two for the best value possible and start over.
