Not a word of this is true. Not one.
We signed Howard quickly and low-balled Horford before offering him a bigger contract at the last second to save face and make people like you think Horford refused to play for Atlanta.
Let me ask you this. If Matt Ryan was a free agent and the Falcons signed Phillip Rivers before even extending him an offer, what are the odds he would come back regardless of how much he was offered?
And if you don't think this team is worse this year, you haven't watched them play much. They damn near lost to Brooklyn at home tonight.

This is the real problem though. Budenholzer is an outstanding coach, but a terrible GM. The organization needs to step in and hire a real GM to take that role. Doesn't even need to be Ferry, just not Bud anymore.

Well, you arent calling me a liar, but rather legit NBA insiders:
1. "Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical brings further detail, including the fact that the Hawks and Horford were separated in terms of financial commitment by only $6 million total over five seasons."
LINK
2. The Hawks were juggling a lot of balls in those frantic moments before Horford bolted to Boston. They had already agreed to a three-year, $70 million deal with Dwight Howard, a decidedly un-Hawks-like player who mans the same position as Horford. They were working to re-sign Horford anyway, and arranging a trade that would jettison Paul Millsap -- their best player last season.

Lets see your links proving otherwise.

You mean the same nets who beat the Grizzlies by 13 on Monday. If you knew the NBA as well as you think you do, you would know that any team can win on a given night in the NBA.
And they damn near beat the Cavs last Friday, smashed the Celtics in Boston a few days earlier (with Howard owning Horford head to head), and beat the Rockets in early Feb, but those games go against your agenda, so act as if they didnt happen.
Anyways, the difference between the 2016 and 2017 teams isnt as large as you make it out to be, which is proven by the wins and losses you conveniently ignored. Whatever small decline there has been up until now isnt because of the Horford/Howard swap in the front.
