Boston: LM Aldridge

Spurs: A Horford


I believe both players are a better fit in those teams

I disagree. If I am Boston, I would much rather have Horford. He is a much better defender and he is a good passer for a big (5 apg) . Aldridge is an iso player and him and Thomas together would really hurt the ball movement for Steven's system.

Boston can use a strong inside scorer.
And LMA is on a cheaper and shorter contract.

But maybe the spurs can trow in a second round pick.

Horford made a huge leap in the playoffs. He shoots well from the outside, he passes. He does everything Stevens asks him to do and more. He's not going anywhere.

I doubt Boston would trade Horford unless he's part of a deal for AD to make #'s work.

Personally I think Celtics should try to deal Horford in a deal to get a better rebounding center (their #1 weakness last year and one they haven't really addressed this offseason and lost their 2nd best rebounder in Bradley; tells you how bad a rebounding team they were that a 6ft 2 guard was one of their top rebounders) . With the skilled forwards they've added in Hayward and Tatum I don't think they need quite as skilled a center and can go with a more traditional one.

Aldridge clearly isn't this type of guy and I think they are better of with Horford than him but if they could swing Horford and a non-nets pick or two for someone like Drummond (would be young enough to grow with Brown, Tatum and Smart) or Marc Gasol (equally skilled passer, shooter to Horford but bigger and better rebounder) .
