Woj: Horford to 76ers

[Celtics4ever]

At least they still have a ton of resources, invested in crappy Ben Simmons, who is a loser at heart.  I wish AL well when he is not playing us.

Philly's defense is going to be pretty darn good

$97 million guaranteed.  Celtics could have given a similar deal. He wanted out.

Just sell jerseys with velcro names/numbers.

Wanted out, or the Celtics didn't want to give him $100 million for four years?

If Philly offered $30 - $40 million extra, who can blame him?

Perhaps they could - there was certainly a path to get there-, but did they?

Not against guards, Ben Simmons can't guard PGs.   This will be the key to beating them.   Interior wise they will be potent but AL being there is not going to be a heart transplant for Simmons to care...

Chief rivals in the division are all improving.

I love Al but this move just sucks.

Now me hopes his wheels fall off within 2 years.

Simmons, Harris, Al, Embiid are a handful to contend with that's for sure.

That's what I honestly think. I don't think he wanted to come back for one reason or another. Honestly, wouldn't surprise me if it came out that our locker room was more toxic than what we know.

Wow. Disappointing. Sucks that I'm going to have to root hard against Al, but it's Philly. Hope it goes up in flames

[Phantom255x]

Yeah we NEED to add frontcourt help somehow

Embiid + Horford. oof

[SCeltic34]

Brutal.  Loved Al but as long as he wears a Sixers uni all I can do is hope for him to fail.

I think Ainge didn't want him back.

tacko could take them both at the same time

Woj says that Boston went to 4 years on an offer for Horford, but that the money was too far apart from the $97M guaranteed Horford got from Philadelphia.   

Looks like ultimately it was a money thing.
