    Al Horford is still good, no doubt, but he'll be 34 next June, and 4 years is too long.

    I still think Philly will be worse with Horford & Richardson over Butler & Reddick.

    His usage and minutes went down, his production and level of play didn't really go down. His age is a concern, but for 76ers, he'll be a perfect fit. He and Embiid are both mobile bigs who can stretch the floor and are great defensively. I think this lineup is better. Horford is older than Butler, but Richardson is way younger and better defensively than JJ. The big thing with Horford is the 76ers team has a lot of personalities and Horford is fantastic leader and locker room influence, and on the floor is very unselfish.

    His year 3 and 4 may become a drag.

    He will certainly help in 2020, but my point was about how much his addition plus Richardson will be equal to losing Butler & Reddick.

    I love Al Horford. the but is that you ain't winning titles with Al headlining. I don't know whether or not the Celtics have future titles coming their way or not but what I will say is that I like very much that Danny has an obvious no ass-hole rule moving forward. Nothing is worth coddling a pompous butt for brains regardless of whether or not you can win. If this team loses with good hard working players, I'm fine with it. good bye Kyrie and see you later with good wishes to Rozier.

    If he has a "no ass-hole" policy, why did he acquire Kyrie in the first place?

    Is this a new policy?

    I'll simply say that that might be why he will have a new team to help screw up. No I don't believe that it is a new policy but hey you decide for yourself.

    I think you wish he had the policy from day 1.

    Sometimes you just don't know what you are getting until you have a chance to live with the goods I think.

    The NBA is just crazy. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George end up on Clippers, and now Westbrook has demanded a trade. Rough time to be a Thunder fan

    True, but the writing was all over the wall with Irving.

    The fucking Clippers get Kawhi Leonard, while LeLoadmanagement gets the corpse of DeMarcus Cousins. Hilarious.

    I'm not sure that it was as clear as you think it might have been. It was a gamble that didn't pay off. that's the way it goes.

    I wasn't the only one who could see Irving was trouble.

    The Jazz could surprise.

    I'm not sure I'd count the Rockets out either.

    I think both conferences are pretty wide open.

    There are certainly some teams with no shot, but a lot of teams look to have improved and were not bad this year.
