Horford is leaving after this year the writing is on the wall. He hired a new agent b4 the season started and he's tired of playing the 5 despite the game changing.

This that casual fan talk. We not getting handed kawhi Durant lebron or step curry. You want the front office to admit we don't have a top 10 player then what? We don't even have lotto picks dawg. Be rational at least
I am being rational, I'm not suggesting we pull something impossible like trade Korver for Durant. But theres only one way to win a championship in the NBA, and thats with a top 10 Superstar player. I think I've just come to accept the fact that as long as theres players like Lebron, Curry, and Durant out there, and no player of their caliber is playing in a hawks uniform, then last year will be the closest we ever get to winning a title.

I agree with that completely. There isn't as much parody in the NBA as there is in the NFL. What solution do you have? Build a perfectly cohesive unit like last yr or tank for a top 5 pick. Personally I don't think I can suffer thru losing seasons like Minnesota fanbase

He went back to the same agency team he had his whole career. Where the hell do you guys get these theories from. This shyt worse than Jeff selling his condo in November poppin up last week

Good point, I guess I rather have at least the past 3 seasons of ups and downs, than what the 76ers are doing and the Timberwolves have been through. Pains me to say this but this is Lebrons east until age catches up to him or a star shows up to challenge him.

I know this is a pipe dream, but I wouldn't be mad if we cleared space and go hard after Durant this summer. Even if we completely swing and miss, at least it shows we tried something new.

No let's not do that again. We don't need a repeat of when we went after Dwight and CP3 and missed on both.

Of course the ATL
Trade Horford and you never getting back to success again in the next 10 years. Not close

What's success? Perennial second round exits? Horford's a great guy and a very good player,Mobutu you're acting like he's Tim Duncan or some shyt. Al Horford as the face of your franchise isn't winning you a championship. If he wants max money then it's time to move on
