spotatl Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Glad it got done- I thought the Hawks would try and play hardball like they did with Smith and Childress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted November 1, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Glad it is done and a good deal. We didn't overpay for him, he is worth 12 million a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotatl Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Will be interesting to see if there are any player options or what kind of incentives there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Wow. I have to say i am stunned by this. Looks like Horford decided a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'm shocked that the ASG actually got the deal done. 5/60 should be very workable for this ownership group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yeah he could have easily been paid 100 mil by a team looking to overpay for potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 1, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Very good deal for a very good player! GO HAWKS! ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T21 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Great deal!!! Just read it on AJC... Obviously Al wanted to remain in ATL... Al's a great kid, winner, leader, hard-worker and most importantly has his head straight... :thumbsupsmileyanim: P.S. Props to Rick Sund! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted November 1, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This is great news. Just to be nitpicky, though, nothing has been signed and the incentive part of the contract is still being negotiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotatl Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yeah he could have easily been paid 100 mil by a team looking to overpay for potential. I think that 5 years and 85 million would have been the max under the current system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I went over to realgm to see what was going on. Nobody posts on the Hawks board anymore. There are more response to Horford signing on the Raptors board. http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1063055 Knicks fans responding as only Knicks fans know how to. http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1063064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
