NBA Rumors: Hawks Made ‘Significant Offer’ To Al Horford Amid Celtics’ Interest
Aside from Kevin Durant, Al Horford probably is the most coveted NBA free agent on the market right now, assuming LeBron James stays with the Cleveland Cavaliers for at least one more season.
People believed the Atlanta Hawks agreeing to a four-year, $70 million contract with swingman Kent Bazemore on Friday would prevent them from re-signing Horford.
But that might not be the case.
Hawks made very significant offer to Al Horford. Whether it still stands because of their new cap situation unknown. He still could return.

One way the Hawks could clear enough salary cap space to bring back Horford is by trading All-Star forward Paul Millsap.
According to sources, a trade that's been pondered in recent days featured Hawks forward Paul Millsap and collection of picks owned by Suns.

The Boston Celtics are interested in signing Horford as well, and they reportedly made a “strong presentation” to him during a meeting Friday.
The Celtics will meet with Durant on Saturday.
