    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.

    I think thats a fair price for a healthy Howard

    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.
