Celtics land Al Horford

love this trade.
finally Celtics have an established star player.

 

To me horford is a really good role player not really a star but maybe I'm wrong

 

I beg to differ. He's a SUPER role player.

 

the rockets pursuing horford with a max contract made me have to go through the cognitive dissonance of having to think of horford as a star who could completely change a team's fortune with his basketball skills. now that i'm free of that, i feel better going back to thinking horford is just a nice piece to add who doesn't move the needle tremendously.

 

I felt exactly the same way. I'm happy we "lost" to be frank.
