    For weeks we've been hearing how ridiculous the contract offers would be and everyone is still crapping their pants over these numbers!!

    The new salary cap makes the salary insane. If Morey is smart he should do sign and trade to get some bargaining existing contracts instead of paying 20M for role players.

    Al Horford does not have a deal with the Hawks in place as Night 1 gets late, so he's been fielding calls from all over the league

    we are not interested in Dudley.
    Utah, BKN, Phoenix and Washington.
    ofc he will go to the highest bidder.

    Out of our price range if we get Bazemore and continue to go after Horford. I like Dudley a lot though.
