The rumors are flying fast and furious today. We got a lot to get to open to do some more draft

profiles as well, but I think the biggest news of the day is out of Boston where there had been

precious little talk of Al Vorford and his player option than yesterday. It comes that he was going

to opt out and today it comes that the Celtics were really only offering a three-year deal if

Orford wanted to stay, which sounded like was his initial priority. And once the opt out happened,

turns out there are going to be some big offers on the tail for Al Horford. And this is something

that we talked about. I was so surprised that there had been so little buzz about his free agency

because he fits everywhere. Yeah, a piece that I never wrote but almost did was about the parallels

between Al Horford's free agency and Clay Thompson's where I saw both of them as, you know,

not necessarily being the priority for some of those teams with big dreams, but making sense

everywhere and, you know, they played different positions and Horford doesn't have the

benefit of scarcity as much as Thompson does. And now that Thompson is hurt, and obviously that

changes the conversation as well. And so with Horford, what I think makes this really interesting is

the reporting from Steve Bullpet that Horp basically that Horford will take that he's at least

thinking about planning whatever, a signing a four-year deal elsewhere, is that without any further

information, you could go a bunch of different directions with this. I'll list out a couple that I

thought were compelling. Dallas, potentially playing alongside Kristop's Bozingus and Luca

Donchich. It will be different because they're not like a ready-made contender. I wouldn't,

as the Clippers, sign him as like the only guy that they're adding this summer, but let's say they

expected to get Kawaii Leonard. I think a Horford Leonard combination around the other pieces they

have would be awesome. So those were the two that I thought of as being the most compelling at first.

Yeah, Brooklyn seems unlikely because it doesn't seem like I would like to reunite with
