Good teams aren't going to spend $20 million a year on Dwyane Wade's corpse.
Yeah, if I'm Al I would rather play with Wall than with Harden, and Washington being in the East means they at least have a shot at advancing in the playoffs
The obvious difference is you'd have to trade for one guy. And you'd have to retain Millsap next summer.

Also you then have to decide if you want to resign Millsap at age 31 (and probably for similar money to what Horford is getting) rather than getting Horford for his 30-34 seasons.

Well, the theory (my theory) is Shroeder, Baze, Sap, Horford, and Howard to start. Then Bud does his robotic subs and brings in Korver and then moves Sap to the 4. And then Horford gets his rest and comes back in for Howard. And then they start interchanging those 3 and Mike Scott and whatever other C they plan to use lol.

Nearly spit out my shitty beer when I read who the Lakers picked for $64M. Damn, what a fuck up.
Not sure that is problem. You have to decide if you want to resign Milsap or spend Milsap money on any other free agent available.

If Noah and Howard can get insane contracts, Wade who actually carried the Heat in two 7-Game series can get paid.

It seems odd that after everything the Hawks have done this off-season they now want to make room to max out Horford.
Edit:
Ramona Shelburne is saying that the Hawks haven't even offered him the full max yet.

Would a bad team pay 16 million for Mozgov's corpse?

It's bad, but it seems like this is what the average salary will be in the coming future.

We should update the thread title...suggestions?
Whichever one is most in agreement I can update sometime this weekend.

Don't think they'll give him max. Obviously I'm a nobody but I'll assume that price is probably around 25 with 7.5% raises and they're trying to convince him to take that and come back to the team.
Lmao.

Stop because those negative thoughts are goingvto start creeping back in my mind where we get only 3rd tier FA's to sign for another year..
How many teams didn't get a meeting? Doing something right.
Love how quickly you jumped ship from the "fuck Horford" group

Hortford.

I do feel an uneasiness about the situation now. You gotta figure Ainge absolutely wanted Horford signed tonight to have much more to show in the Durant meeting. So the fact that didn't happen leaves a lot of doubt for me.
I suppose it could be a "sleep on it" situation, and maybe he will be signed in the morning before the Durant meeting.

Amazing how his insane Atlanta Hawks deal dont even look that crazy in today's offseason

Writers are saying that GMs have started talking about contracts in terms of percentage of cap space as opposed to dollar amounts because of how big they are now. So percentage-wise that deal is still awful.
