Al Horford knew it was coming. His lone season in Philadelphia wasn’t bad—it was awful. The lowest scoring average since his second season. The lowest shooting percentage of his career. A three-point percentage not seen since he wasn’t shooting three-pointers.
Horford’s addition—at the premium price of a four-year, $109 million deal—was supposed to push Philadelphia into the Finals.
Instead, the Sixers were broomed out of the first round of the playoffs.
“I just think, just putting it all out there, I just think it just wasn't a good fit,” Horford said in a telephone interview.
