I'm kinda torn.
On one hand, I like Horford and his steady production.
On the other hand, he's not getting any younger and I wouldn't mind a younger, more athletic power forward.
Bingo!
The championship window for the Celts has closed.
Horford is not a priority anymore.
There's just no point in Horford playing for a rebuilding team like the Celts.
I didn't say anything about any window closing.
I still want to see us compete and all this talk about rebuilding with the "Jays" is making me puke my brains out.
I'm just saying it wouldn't be the worse idea if either Horford was traded for/or replaced with a younger, power forward. Someone preferably taller than 5'9.
The problem with trading Horford is it's hard to trade his 30m salary without getting a bad contract in return.
Besides, if there's a team really interested in Horford, they would just tell Horford to opt out so they can sign Hoford in free-agency.
Another scenario is the Celts restructuring Horford's deal and Horford stays 3 or 2 more years in Boston.
What's the point in that if the Celts aren't competing for a championship?
Right now it's looking like the Celts will be building around Tatum and Brown.
Brown is 22 years old and Tatum is 21 years old.
Horford just doesn't fit in anymore.
