They are both free agents. You mean Atl signs Horford and we sign Howard then we trade?? Someone is thinking too hard. Lulz
When no one pays Dwight what he's looking for and he takes less money, will he then say it's not about the money?
Is it possible that Boston or Atlanta signing Howard early could give us the edge to sign Horford? I don't want a retread.

This is obviously a troll job since everyone knows that only the "master recruiter" Chandler Portions has the recruiting chops to get Dwight... and it doesn't look like he's sticking around...
No, Mike Fisher is the official mouthpiece for the Dallas Mavericks. This tweet sent Dallasbasketball.com into near meltdown. I'm finding the outpouring of Cuban hate to be quite refreshing...

Wasn't Amick the guy who first announced Dwight to Houston in 2013? Pretty sure this guy has an in with Howards "sources".

If so, Millsap is gone. I think Morey is salivating, Dwight is doing us a solid regardless if he signs in Atlanta.
