Al Horford held four meetings over the course of Friday and plans to make a
decision on his future over the weekend.

老鷹隊明星長人Al Horford已經在今天舉行四次與不同球隊的會談，預計將在美國國慶
周末過後，決定他未來所屬的球隊

Horford met with the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards in addition to
two other teams. The Boston Celtics also have a strong degree of interest in
Horford and met with him, as did the Hawks.

Horford首兩隻會談的球隊是火箭與巫師，另外兩支球隊則包括了有強烈興趣挖腳他
的賽爾提克，以及仍有意願留住他的舊東家老鷹

With the Hawks re-signing Kent Bazemore and also signing Dwight Howard, the
odds of him re-signing have become slim.

老鷹這邊比較不利的點在於，隨著以高價碼續簽搖擺人Kent Bazemore與挖角明星
中鋒Dwight Howard後(這兩人每季年薪相加至少3千萬美金，合約總額更高達1.4億)，
有人認為這兩個舉動反而會減少Horford續留的機率

Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports the Hawks have been engaged in trade talks to
free up cap space to re-sign Horford if he chooses to return.

ESPN記者Brian Windhorst指出，老鷹已經展開不少交易談判，以釋出更多薪資空間
續約Hoford

Ramona Shelburne reports Horford also met with a mystery team.

另一名ESPN記者Ramona Shelburne則報導，Horford今天其實還會談了一隻身分待查
的「神秘球隊」

Horford has also yet to be offered the full max by the Hawks.

另一個影響老鷹能否續約Horford的變數在於︰球隊至今仍沒有提供他最高額的頂薪級
合約

心得:這齣戲碼看起來精采程度不輸給「Durant爭奪戰」喔！

對了，KD與Horford都是屬於07梯出道的球星，
這兩人如今面臨的狀況也頗為類似，
更戲劇化的是據傳雷霆為了保住KD，似乎有意清出空間以挖腳Horford
