    If we can pick up both we have to do it! Opportunities like that don't come up often! We can always trade one for an upgrade.

    What if there was a way that we could sign Hordford and Conley and also add Durant.........

    Is it possible?

    It's more than numbers, having a C that can not only participate in the offense, but can provide a true 2nd scoring option would be huge.

    Exactly.

    I agree because I think they would play well off each other. However I don't see how that works with the Rockets' current coach.

    Al Horford was playing in a mediocre Hawks team last season in the East and he is probably the 3rd option at best in offense.

    Also he was playing in a team which offense is totally opposite with the Rockets offense, they rely on passing the balls among teammates to create open shots. Good luck with that next year to have the same amount of quality shoots.

    I'm not getting my hopes up for any meetings or rumors. I will be excited once someone signs a contract and not until that time.

    You conveniently left out AST/TO ratio.
    Horford: 3.2/1.3 (better than 2/1, which is amazing for a big man)
    Dwight: 1.4/2.3 (one of the worst big men in the league when it comes to turnovers)

    Horford is just a much better overall offensive basketball player. He'll help you stretch the floor, he can pass and he can hit a free throw. And given Dwight's dropoff defensively last season, I wouldn't say Horford is a significant step down on that end.

    When you couple in Dwight's complete disinterest at times and poor attitude, Horford is a much better fit on this team right now.
