    Horford is most likely going to Dallas

    Dudes 33 years old and averaged 13 and 6 last year.

    Sounds of Mozgof/Deng level stupidity.

    That was my guess as well. I suspected either LAC or DAL.

    The Mavs are basically trying to pull off:

    Horford
    Porzingis
    Doncic
    Lee/Hardaway
    Beverley?

    Not a bad team tbh.

    Horford in Dallas allows them to play KP at the 4 to save wear and tear. Horford fits the mold of a Carlisle player.

    I personally don't see how it gets done. Is he willing to take less than the full max? I kind of doubt it. Seeing other people get paid him than him is apparently a trigger. A S&T would be extremely complicated to pull off with the cap situation both the Rockets and Philly are in.

    Not sure they have enough salary to sign that kinda of player, now i'm doing the math without having the numbers but, with the cap at 108M:

    20M Hardaway
    10M Lee
    10M Powell
    20M Porzingis until he resigns
    25M Horford

    Plus some random players i probably forget...you've probably to add around at least 5/10M in salary so, they would've around 10/15M left to play with.

    Financially these are the options


    Gordon, Tucker, Nene, Hartenstein, and Clark for Butler S&T to a max. Could use a 3rd team.

    Capela and Gordon in a 3 team deal works for Butler S&T to the max.

    Or Gordon and Nene works out for a Butler OPT in trade (like CP3 did)

    The Mavericks are considered favorites to land Celtics free-agent big man Al Horford, according to league sources, and the two Los Angeles teams are said to also have interest, though they both have their sights set on bigger fish like Kawhi Leonard. The Rockets recently explored trading Chris Paul into New York’s cap space, but the Knicks refused, according to league sources. Trading Paul would have positioned the Rockets to be a Clint Capela or Eric Gordon trade away from freeing up the cap space to sign Jimmy Butler, who league sources say they plan to pursue.
