    Curious to see what this does for Horford, I expect some movement there soon.

    Lost a million or so by declining his player option..

    Good for him though.

    Horford to the Rockets PLEASE!

    The only thing I wished is that we had traded him when we had the chance.

    Good luck to him, just didn't fit the system

    Good luck Dwight. Thanks for your service here. You were awesome.

    Wish it could have worked out a little better but I think we'll all look back at this time and think we actually had it pretty good with Dwight.

    That seems like a really good deal considering what everyone else is getting.

    Only 3 years is big

    Don't see how they keep Horford now.... We got a good chance to nab our Big 3 KD bait....

    That's not too crazy, good for him. Finally home! I mean that, I hope it works out but indeed glad he's gone.

    It's pretty strange the forum not going into meltdown mode after losing a starter. This is rare territory. There was more outrage when Tarik Black left.

    That's actually not bad for Atlanta. We still need to find a center.
