According to Kevin O’Connor from The Ringer, the Dallas Mavericks are surfacing as the favorites to land free agent center, Al Horford as he prepares to part ways with the Boston Celtics. Horford has been with the Celtics for the past three seasons, earning one All-Star appearance and being the constant rock for a solid playoff team.
Discontent between the Celtics organization and some of their players began brewing just a few days ago and now it seems that both of the team’s biggest stars are headed for higher waters. This comes as a shock to most Celtics fans who thought they would be looking at a team led by Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis next year.
