Per NBA league source, Hawks have upped their offer to Al Horford & added a 5th yr. Not 5-yr Max though

As Al Horford weighs max offers (4 years, $113 million) from Boston and Washington, it appears the Hawks are trying to stay in the game. They’ve offered a 5th year but we do not know the dollar amount. Remember, a max offer from Atlanta would be $152 million.
Money might not matter if this report is true:
Multiple sources tell me Al Horford is not a fan of the Dwight Howard signing. Could play major role in decision to stay with Hawks

The Hawks are still actively shopping Paul Millsap and some are wondering if Boston should make a play for both:
Interesting dynamic that at least 2 of teams chasing Horford — Cs, Wiz — should also be interested in trading for Millsap.

Horford decision coming tonight. Let’s hope it’s minutes before the Celtics start up with Kevin Durant.
