u guys get a quality center than can pnr hit midrange n defend
Sorry but I don't see any reason why the Hawks would entertain a deal for an older, less productive, more expensive and incredibly longer contract for Paul Millsap.
horford can play pf,
while gortat is older he played 6000 less minutes than milsap and 3000 less minutes than horford
hes also going to be cheaper than the 4yr contract milsap would request, n most importantly, he'll fit better next to horford
You're discussing trading an All Star straight up for a lesser player with the intention of doing what exactly for the Hawks? Making them bigger? At the cost of taking a dip in talent and locking into a long term deal for a guy that won't improve the team.
This is a topic that has been discussed ad naseum on this board already, Horford can play PF but he's not as good a PF as Millsap is so again, what exactly is the incentive here? You're claiming "better fit" by offering a less talented frontcourt duo where neither can create consistently for themselves and Horford's offense is negated playing against players that can guard further on the perimeter and can match his quickness. Then there is no need to discuss the potential salary that Millsap
may sign when we know for sure the salary that Gortat
does have.
Regularly, for the opportunity to eat a longterm salary such as Gortat's a team would offer extra incentive. Regularly, when trading for a more talented player a team would offer extra incentive yet you're of the belief that a straight swap gets this deal done. Sorry, don't see it.
