As the Hawks and Al Horford approach the Nov. 1 deadline for signing a contract extension, Horford believes negotiations will last right up until the deadline, says Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
“I kind of have thought this all along, but I think it really is going to come down to the last day,” Horford said.
Cunningham says Horford is “not anxious or nervous” about the situation.
The only two players from the 2007 Draft class to secure extensions so far are Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls, as Cunningham notes.
