He thought the 76ers were a better fit and a better chance to chase a ring as time starts to catch up on him. Probably his last big contract.

Not angry at him like I was with Kyrie. He was a professional. And he said nothing we really didn't know already.

Kyrie's team is a lesser enemy than Horford's team though. I like Horford the person/player more but his decision is in the same category for me. He has the right to jump ship for more money but I'm a fan of Boston and I dislike the fact he chose them over us.

No good luck wishes for him since he's with one of our biggest enemies now. What's done is done though, I would appreciate to just stop giving attention to the Kyrie's/Horford's and just forget about that era of Celtics basketball.
