So now all we have to focus on next summer is Joe's contract.

Joe's contract and getting Horford sign. No way in hell I want Horford testing FA. The demand for Horford will be much higher then any of our other RFA.

Good move. I hope he has a monster year. I expected more from him last year.

That's curious. He was a walking double/double last year. I think a player in his second year, that's solid! What would constitute a monster year in 09-10?

I'll take "No Brainers" for $200, Alex.

Thanks for posting this, Blunt. It's amazing how difficult it can be to find official confirmation on things like this sometimes.

I agree and said that last off season before Smoove resigned. Of course 8/10 of the hawksquawk alumni flamed me for this common sense. Many totally under value the ability to average a double / double at the center position, at 24 years of age, with a good attitude

A monster year to me is 15ppg and 12rpg. If he can do 13 and 11 I would be happy.
