Probably another 2 years after that.

Yeah he is in great shape. I think he could go an additional 2 years providing quality 6 man 20-25 minutes a game, give him some rest games and target maybe 60 games a year just to keep him as fresh as possible.

He's come a long way since he was one of the worst deals in the league.

The reports of his retirement have been greatly exaggerated (aka fabricated).

My bad, but he was definitely egging the idea on! He coulda just said no when asked.

I hope he never retires, keep him on the team like Udonis except we roll him out even when he gets wheelchair age! Long live Allllllllllllll!

I, for one, am not looking forward to the day Horford retires. We can't just plug in any MLE/minimum big for 30 mins in the playoffs and expect the same impact as he's had at age 37. To me, he's still criminally underrated, even with some Celtics fans.

Both Kemba and Fournier are out of the league while Horford just started for a championship team. Say it with me -- Brad Stevens doesn't miss.

I love all of these defensive videos we're getting in the off-season. Jrue and White together, Jrue by himself, White by himself, JB, Al, hell even Hauser had one.

It's been said that I post too much about Horford and White. Much more than (my) normal.

You're doing fine. You're one of the Best posters on here.
And, you're keeping us all busy, in the down days of the Off-season.

Keep 'em coming.

Gotta love it.

And people were so worried about our defense for awhile there when Joe first took over as coach..people said he was just an offensive coach and that our defense was going to down the tubes with him as coach..

Personnel helps, but Joe seems to prioritize both ends despite the early concerns you mentioned.
