    I can't wait to see Boston strike out on Horford/Durant and then desperately give out huge contracts to mediocre players.

    It helps them recruiting other stars, too.

    However, it took a dynamic young coach and a 48-win team to pry Horford. Kudos to Ainge. He also has 2 other first round picks from Brooklyn. Good day for the C Bags.

    The word was early in free agency that KD wanted to play with Horford. Horford isn't better than Westbrook, though. Boston still doesn't have the roster talent wise like an OKC, but I tell you, they have an easier path to get to the Finals.

    They're where we hope to be in a year or two. Shaq would've never signed with us if we didn't have Nick, Eddie, Ceballos, etc. Gotta develop our talent and make it a place the elite feel they can win.

    Worst part about the C Bags getting good is... well... the C Bags getting good. But the second worst part about it is now we have to root for LeBron and Coward in the East playoffs.

    A full 5 year max is not enough money for Al Horford to play with Dwight Howard.

    For real though, this is why I'm for spending some more cap this year to get another good player. Make strides the next 1-2 years and hopefully a top player looks your way.
