Hey Al Horford, did you hear Atlanta signed Dwight Howard?

Dwight Howard has reached agreement on a three-year, $70.5 million with the Atlanta Hawks, league sources tell The Vertical.

I’m no genius but there doesn’t appear to be room for Al Horford in Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Celtics contingent is meeting tonight with Horford. Evan Turner, the soon-to-be Blazer offered this insight on the Celtics pursuit of Al:

Turner said Ainge did not give a sense of where the Celtics stood in the Durant sweepstakes, but he said that Ainge “seemed confident with Horford.” According to a league source, the Celtics were expected to meet with Horford Friday before visiting Durant Saturday. Their delegation was expected to include forward Jae Crowder, among others, a league source said.

According to Steve Bulpett, the Celtics will also bring a max contract offer to the meeting with Horford:

The Celtics will be flying out to meet with Al Horford tonight, and a league source fully expects that Danny Ainge will be bearing a maximum contract offer.

There had been talk during the season that perhaps the Hawks’ center, who turned 30 last month, wasn’t worth that level of a deal. But the Celts have apparently come around on that, and at four years for a little more than $113 million, he’d easily fit into their salary structure, with ample room left for a premier scorer.

Would love to get Horford’s commitment before the meeting with Kevin Durant.
