    Horford can do what Pau Gasol wouldn't do in the Dantony system - he can play the stretch 4.

    Horford's most recent follow on Twitter is Kevin Durant

    You could run rampant with some conspiracy theories.

    Is it confirmed we're getting the first meeting?

    I call that the worst defending / rebounding front court in the NBA.

    Both Horford and DMo are plus defenders, rebounding might be a bit of an issue since neither are really good at it but they'd more than make up for it on offense. The spacing would be phenomenal.

    Did I miss seeing something? I didn't notice anywhere that said we were Horford's first meeting. It's entirely possible that someone meets with him just after midnight tonight.

    The Rockets are just leverage so that Al can get Atlanta to open their wallet.

    I don't think D-Mo or Horford scare anyone on offense. They can hold ground on certain nights but def nothing special.

    I agree with the spacing.

    Horford is a VERY good defender and DMo is above average when healthy. I think when you say "scare anyone" you are talking specifically about shot blocking and I would agree that neither are really great shot blockers, but you can be a good shot blocker and still be terrible defensively. I'd rather a good defensive player who isn't a big shot blocker than a shot blocker who is overall poor defensively.

    Atlanta is balking at the 5th year, so he's probably gone.

    This is not what it means, but it is possible.

    What? He's giving Houston a meeting. Just that - a meeting. Doesn't mean he is or isn't coming.

    He's gonna schedule a meeting with 5-10 teams.
