Not a great fit next to Sully both are more naturally 4/5s not true centers. Also the package you mention will not be enough to land Horford.

Avoid chronically injured players at all cost!!!!

He's a very good, undersized at center to say the least, but his body wears down. Atlanta would be crazy not to deal him I'd be shocked if he ever plays an 82 game season again, has he ever?

a bit overstated... here's his game totals:

81, 67, 81, 77, 11*, 74, 29*

Thats 4 seasons with 74+ games, one where he missed 15, and two with fewer than 30 games.

To be fair those 2 seasons came in the last 3 --- though the 2 injuries were unrelated and somewhat freakish.

I'd have no issue trying to add Horford b/c of health or fit (He's a little undersized for a Center but would be fine alongisde a big PF like Sully.
