Al Horford is playing better than he has been in a long time.
He’s averaging 14.2 points per game, his highest total since his 2015-16 season.
Along with that, he added 6.8 rebounds. He’s even throwing 3-ball more than ever, averaging 5.6 attempts per game.
After Horford’s time in Philadelphia, many believed the great veteran’s career was going downhill.
Horford told Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix it’s all about chemistry for the Sixers.
“We just didn’t agree. We don’t grease. And obviously we’ve had a lot of great players in particular, and it just didn’t fit. “
Horford was a steal in an acquisition for the Thunder’s last offseason. His role on this young Oklahoma team has been all they needed so far. He set an example for these young boys while teaching them some of the many things he has learned throughout his remarkable career.
Move to Dallas
As the days approach the March 25 NBA trade deadline, the Oklahoma City Thunder faces more and more questions.
Many feel that Sam Presti and his company will try to actively participate in this commercial season as they look to download some of their shocking veteran products like Trevor Ariza, George Hill and Al Horford.
Predicting where Horford might end up is one of the biggest challenges we’ve had to tackle.
Although he averages 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while shooting 36.4% from 3-arc, his two years remaining and 53.5 million remaining on his contract make it a little more difficult to find a suitor for the veteran.
However, in a recent article published by Bleacher Report, they see the Dallas Mavericks as a possible landing site and think the trio of Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford could be quite threatening.
