I was holding out hope he was going to Denver, but once they added Valanciunas it kind of felt inevitable he was going to the Warriors.

Fuck Draymond Green. Fuck Steve Kerr. Fuck Jimmy Butler

Horford deserves better

Better than having to see him on the Lakers at least

God seeing Al in any kind of yellow is brutal

He’s gonna get scapegoated by those fans. Feel bad for him. They seriously haven’t looked at how we load managed him, and expect him to look good in a big man rotation of Draymond/Horford/Post… fuck

This hurts my heart. Even tho it’s been expected it’s still not right.

Love Big Al and will always appreciate how he helped the team but this is the second time he’s dipped when the going got tough.  Kind of hard to swallow but this is the modern day NBA. 

 Is it the money or is it a chance to compete for a ring? Like let’s be real, the Warriors are not winning a championship next year. It’s not going to happen unless they make significant upgrades.

Bill has been wrong about stuff before

42 aint getting in the rafters after that 💔💔

This is the state of the new cba and the center market. The dubs would rather pursue a 40 yr old than give up anything or pay larger salary to a better guy

Can’t blame Al for wanting to chase a ring in his last season or two. Come back on a 1-day contract when it’s time Al!

I’m sorry but he shouldn’t be getting his number retired here if he leaves to go ring chasing for a second time

Just retire for a year Al. Don’t do it.

Everyone thinking this is some kind of betrayal need to remember Al played for the Hawks for 9 years before he ever came to Boston. He spent a long time with us and you should be grateful. He helped develop the Js and won a ring. Let him go try stuff. He’s still an important guy for us, but he belongs to basketball and not the Cs.

This is very upsetting to me

Damn there goes our entire center rotation lol

Don’t do it, man. Don’t you do it.

🤮

Fucking sucks

I still like our chances. Al’s quality of life is way better here. He doesn’t play back to backs, may take a road trip off at some point. Then he has to ramp up into a play off run. Less money but less work with us and his kids don’t have to move

damn Al. please stay

We have as good of a chance at a ring next year as GSW. C’mon man.

if thats what ends up happening, I hope Horford atleast considers coming back to the Celtics for one final run after next year when Tatum is healthy

At this point who really cares.

Think it’s okay to let go of Big Al, who’s at the tail end of 30. Tbh I’m kinda surprised he was that good for us for that long. One of the premiere Celtics I had the pleasure of watching. A pro’s pro and an ultimate locker room stabilizer.

Al can you just take this year off please 😭

We will always have banner 18

Any team except the gsw, lakers, & hEaT cULtUrE. Damn it!

42 getting raftered

No idea why. They’re not close to contention it’s the unction over there

At least it’s not the Lakers or the Knicks

retirement home lakers all over again

Bro is going to magically start raining 3s there and dial it back a couple years. 

I fucking hate the warriors, but they have a good program to get people to fit. Unlike Philly. 

Why are we letting this happen? ffs

I don’t see how he fits with the Warriors motion offense. He’s just going to be setting off ball screens for Steph. They don’t do five out or much pick ‘n’ roll. Maybe he’ll do pick and roll with Jimmy. He’ll end up being traded to a tanking team at the trade deadline as salary filler.

no!

Yeah….. I’m not trusting shit until I get some sort of notification on my phone.

Al should stay and end his career as a Celtic. But money talks!

Disgusting. Fuck that team. Love Al forever but I hope they suck ass this year ngl.

I wish the lord would take me now.

To me this is the worst place he could go.

Warriors aren’t good. Seeing Al go to a loser is his problem, not ours.

All I can think about is Jimmy mocking Al with the timeout. And to see them both in Gold and blue makes my sick.

Man Bill Simmons has these takes and is just wrong sometimes. I trust Al Horford to do whatever he wants. I am very happy we got him a ring, an unforgettable Celtic.

So, it’s a forgone conclusion the Celtics may not be competitive at all next season after the fire sale, right?

all the warriors need to do is trade for lebron and the average age of their starting lineup will be like 40

I don’t think the warriors’odds are much better than ours next year so it’d be a shame for Al to go there.

On the one hand, I’d be surprised if Bill has any actual insider info here. On the other hand, I’d be surprised if hes wrong anyway.

I can’t with Horford. I know guys want to get paid, but to me this is a betrayal. Tarnished legacy to me. Thanks. Bye

I don’t mind seeing Steph get his 5th (for Lebron’s legacy lol) but fuck Dray and Jimmy always. Anyway, the dubs are still moves away from real contention.

This is gross. Won’t be cheering for him in any capacity.
