    Horford wife > Llull wife in my opinion

    He's an interesting piece. Shooting, passing, defense. For a 6'10" guy though, he averages only 6.5 boards. And never a big scorer. He does all the other stuff, though. Hard to call him the centerpiece of a team as a 4/5 who doesn't score or rebound much, but he definitely is a skilled player.

    Apparently not as difficult of a decision as whether or not to match Dmo

    He's pretty much KG compared to Ryan Anderson though. Jack of all trades who does everything extremely well besides rebound. The only thing I don't like about him is his contract. His 4yr/$113M deal is $33M more than Anderson's. We might not have been able to afford Gordon's contract, even if we didn't sign Nene. At that price, he would need to be a centerpiece.

    I miss Almu (the poster, not Llull's wife). :D

    I've taken a few multiple choice tests in my day. Horford failed his multiple choice test. Next time study harder. You're a failure. Anderson and Gordon passed, they got 'A's'.

    It's official. Harden and Le$ running the show. Triple chinned Maury is just a square peg placeholder now in a round hole.

    He has also missed 10 games. Paying max money for a 15-7 guy seems like a lot.

    Mike Conley dislikes your post with a very angry face.

    Sure wish we could have had Horford and Gordon instead of Anderson or Bazemore.

    Oh well. No point in dwelling in last offseason. He chose Boston. We got Anderson and Gordon and our offense has been looking pretty dang good.

    a very angry face with intermittent grimace while strapped to a traction table, face down, sucking juice from a straw.

    But he'll get over @joomba's slight about highest-paid player, once he's home getting back massages while binge-watching Parks and Recreation.

    Good thing Horford didn't sign here.

    Harden would have banged his wife & the team chemistry would have been similar to last years.

    Horford and Capela would be a pretty awesome C/PF combo, but I'm guessing if we got Horford then we wouldn't have Gordon.
