There may be a silver lining to the Sixers being stuck with Al Horford

There are not a lot of good things that can be said about Al Horford and his year with the Sixers last season. He shot a career-low shooting percentage, career-high 3-pointers attempted, and at 34 years old is not getting any younger. Perhaps worst of all, Horford carries with him a remaining 3 years and $81 million on his contract.

While the fit and usage of Horford is no doubt the biggest reason for the terrible numbers, last season was about as disappointing of a season as possible for Big Al. There seems to be a disagreement in what Horford’s value to the rest of the league is but if the Sixers can find a legitimate suitor for the aging big-man, it is tough to imagine they don’t jump at the chance.
