Tim Bontemps: Brett Brown tried to give Al Horford a full endorsement today after he struggled mightily last night, as Philly was outscored by 26 points in his 19 minutes. “I want to help him help us,” Brown said. Reminded everyone they signed him to help them in April, May and June.
Tim Bontemps: Brett Brown also tried to compare Al Horford’s current role to what Manu Ginobili did for Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. There’s one significant difference, though: Ginobili was always going to play in the most important minutes at the end of games. Horford has no such guarantee.
“There’s a lot of bad contracts they could have traded him for. The Sixers would have traded Al Horford for him, but why would Cleveland do that? They want expiring money and picks,” the former GM said. “Portland could have made a deal work, but for what? They would have really had to look at their cap space and tax money for next year and asked how far a trade for Love would really push them. Would it make them a top-four seed in the West? I don’t think so.”
