How to get Horford

Option #1) Don't screw up the lotto.

Option #2) Trade up with Atlanta. How? Here's Chad Ford in his blog today:

I'd say that everyone seems to be trying to get their hands on Al Horford ... but with Memphis almost a lock to take him at No. 4, that means they have to deal with Atlanta at No. 3. The Bucks, Bulls and Sixers would all love to move up and get him.

I could see a scenario where they (Atlanta) trade down a few spots (to a team like the Bucks for example) pick up an asset and get Conley there. Probably would cost them (Milwaukee) Charlie Villanueva ... or maybe Mo Williams in a sign-and-trade?

I'm torn on him (Brendan Wright). Love the physical tools ... not thrilled about his energy and skill level. I don't know why someone would take him over Al Horford. Both are roughly the same size, length and athleticism ... but Horford has 40 pounds on him and is more skilled.

Yeah, that totally blows. I guess Charlie V isn't nearly the commodity that he was (like when we got Magloire). It does make a ton of sense for Atlanta because they don't appear to want to take Conley 3, and they HAVE to take a PG.
