Apparently he must have been taking minutes away from Hall of Famer Moses Brown.

I know his next season is fully guaranteed, but the season after that is a partial guarantee. Is that too much money to give up in a buyout?

What is his trade market? Maybe Charlotte?

Charlotte almost a guarantee given their obsession with ex-Celtics ;)

No idea about anyone else.

If Horford retires in a couple of years, I wouldn’t mind if the C’s brought him on as an asst coach, ala Evan Turner. Our main guys (Tatum, Brown, Smart) seem to hold him in high regard

Random sidenote: hasn’t our team been playing a lot like Evan Turner this year? A lot of ball stopping and 1 on 1 basketball? Hmm...coincidence???

Business is business. Gotta cash it in when you get the money thrown at you!

Rumor has it Horford heard Kornet was coming to town and asked to be shutdown.

For sure. But I'm not going to feel bad about him being stuck on a rebuilding team because his cash-grab is too rich for most other teams to want to take on.

Don’t think Horford feels bad about the decision tbh. Getting paid to stay at hone basically.

Ha, very true. I'd happily take $25 million to sit at home and shoot hoops at a practice facility whenever

That guarantee is like half of his salary. I can't see OKC taking that on.

They'd be better off holding him to potentially take on long-term bad money (with picks) after next season than buying him out
I'm bitter.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I posted this in another thread, or if my reply just didn't submit, but even if Horford gave back $6 million to secure a buyout, it would leave OKC on the hook for $9 million in dead money for the next six seasons after this one.
