The NBA Free Agency rollercoaster is firing on all cylinders, with loop-de-loops and constant twists and turns. Moments after it was announced that the Sixers had signed and traded Jimmy Butler to the Miami Heat, ESPN announced that veteran center Al Horford has signed a four-year deal with Philadelphia.
The 33-year old has spent the last three years in Boston, averaging 13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game last season. The Sixers needed a backup center behind Joel Embiid and there may not be a better option on the market than the man who averaged 15.
