Al Horford

Al Horford suffered a concussion while practicing with the Boston Celtics on October 30, and he hasn’t played since. For now, the Celtics don’t know when he’ll play again, per Mass Live’s Jay King: [tweet https://twitter.com/ByJayKing/status/795715429671071744] Horford’s safety and long-term health is the primary concern here, but the Celtics, quite clearly, need him back as [...]

Avery Bradley is stoked about the Boston Celtics’ acquisition of Al Horford. So stoked, in fact, that he believes the team has a chance to finish the 2016-17 season as the NBA’s best, or second-best, defensive faction. From Brian Robb of CBS Boston: “I think he’ll help us out a lot,” Bradley explained. “Having a [...]

We knew the Atlanta Hawks tried trading Paul Millsap to make room for an Al Horford-Dwight Howard frontcourt. We just didn’t know how serious they were about such a venture. Until now. From ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: That ballpark $9 million-per-year difference between the starting salaries of Horford and Millsap on their next respective contracts largely [...]

If Al Horford had re-signed with the Atlanta Hawks instead of joining the Boston Celtics, there’s a good-to-really-good chance Paul Millsap would be a member of the Denver Nuggets right now. True story. From ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: Presti doesn’t want to trade Westbrook, but if he feels backed into a corner, he will chase young [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder want Al Horford…in addition to Kevin Durant. I bet you thought they were done trying to make a splash. The Serge Ibaka trade caught a bunch of us off-guard. It was enough of a surprise to last the Thunder all summer. They would try to re-sign Durant and that would be [...]

Al Horford will be one of the NBA’s hottest available free agents over the summer, though that depends on how you define “available.” While he may be an unrestricted free agent, his intention is to stick with the Atlanta Hawks. Even after they were swept in the playoffs for the second straight year by the [...]

The NBA trade deadline has come to pass. You made it. And you’re sad. Twelve deals—or rather, 10 after two consolidations—went down, none of them huge. Tobias Harris went to the Detroit Pistons, Channing Frye was shipped to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Markieff Morris was passed off to the Houston Rockets. That was the extent [...]

Don’t let the Boston Celtics’ relatively quiet rumor mill fool you. Team president Danny Ainge is still on the prowl. From the Boston Herald‘s Steve Bulpett: According to several sources, the club is holding out for a hero to shake loose from another roster while also looking for the next partially hidden gem (think Jae [...]

Are the Houston Rockets actively shopping Dwight Howard? And if so, will they actually move him? We honestly have no idea. Conflicting reports abound. But if the Rockets do move him, Howard apparently has a preference. As ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard said while making an appearance on Mike & Mike (h/t HoopsHype): “I’m told he would [...]

If you thought the Atlanta Hawks were going to just give Al Horford and Jeff Teague away, think again. From CSN New England: Chris Mannix believes Horford would be a perfect fit with the Celtics, but the price tag might be standing in the way. “From everything I’ve been told in the last two or [...]
