Read on Twitter

I get it and the idea....but guys coming 'home' after an away stint to retore has generally had good things to say about where they left over the years
Has Horford ever done that with any ferver?
And I was a Horford fan.
When he left for the money from the Sixers then went back to Boston - it was happy happy joy joy....don't get that he has the same feeling from Atlanta.

That's fair. In Horford's defense...we've all had employers in the past that were pretty terrible.

The Atlanta Spirit/Danny Ferry/BudCox Hawks definitely fall into that category.

Probably need to ask Papa Horford and Sister Horford if him returning is acceptable since they provided so much feedback on Atlanta in the past.

^In an age where parents literally sit court side acting a fool and even rush onto the court to taunt opponents

-- are we really holding a grudge over mildly insulting tweets from 9 years ago?

He's too good to play for the Hawks. Don't believe this? Ask him.
Just say no to Horford.

They sure did.

Pascal Siakam has a chance to win and help lead the Pacers to a championship. Being a 2x champ and winning one without Kawhi will do wonders for his career.

TJ McConnell is who I wanted the Hawks to get in the past. He's doing good things for Indiana and he will probably be a Pacer for the majority of his career. Hustle and never gives up.

JJJ missed out on being All NBA by one vote which will cost him $200m.
