Horford is still an incredibly serviceable starter/sub all-star that does everything we want him to do besides catch lobs. Asking for one of Philly's best defenders on top of that is too much imo.
In my proposed trade, Mavs only trade away Lee+Wright+Jackson+2nds for Horford, which is a small price.
Feels like we're bailing them out. They already have almost 150M in granted salary for next year. 4 years of Horford takes all of our flexibility for Free Agents away. This year he has been decent: More minutes than in BOS, but way less production (maybe father time is catching up to him or coaching difference), but I don't see many teams lining up to eat that contract. We still have to account for Doncic's MAX. I don't want to give up 1st rounder for someone to take him in years 3 & 4 when he is 35/36. If I'm not getting a good guy on a rookie deal, I'm out. Give me 6 months of Drummond instead.
