What It Means:

"From everything I’ve been told in the last two or three days, Atlanta’s requests for both Al Horford and Jeff Teague have been borderline ridiculous," Mannix said. "The kind of things teams like Boston [Celtics], or Milwaukee [Bucks] or Denver [Nuggets] simply won’t deal for the players they want." Boston seems like the team that's most willing to make a major move, and Mannix adds the Hawks could lower their price as the deadline (February 18) approaches.

Horford is averaging 15.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 3-pointers per game with a 54.6 Effective Field Goal Percentage, which is right in line with his career average. He's in the top 20 with a 7.8 nERD this season. Teague is averaging 20.6 points, 5.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals over his last eight games. His 48.3 Effective Field Goal Percentage is a touch below his career 48.7 percent mark, and Teague's 0.7 nERD checks in 69th.
