Al Horford has been mediocre. He doesnt deserve his salary

[BitterJim]

I will say, though, this thread has become kind of silly.  I don't think one single person has changed their stance, and doesn't appear likely to.  It's just the same people re-iterating the same points over and over (on both sides).

That's pretty surprising. Triboy is usually very open to changing his opinion when you give him a logical argument

How is this still a thing?!

“Average Al”, my butt.

Let's shut this topic down because it is BS.

Say to say, AL was sacrificing his numbers for the good of the team to develop Tatum and Brown and also let Kyrie be the man.

Partially. The other part is that he’s just not a primary scoring option at this stage.

[Granath]

This deserves many, many TPs.

26 points, 8 boards in game 7.

We signed Al as a max free agent because we had the cap space. He was the best available free agent not named Durant. He was getting a max contract. We don’t go to ECF last season without him. We don’t beat Bucks without him. Have to forget how much $$ he makes and appreciate the fact that he is a leader and a winner and a huge reason we are where we are today as a team.

I used to not think Al was a max contract guy. Maybe 6 years ago he wasn't an ideal PF, but in today's shooting NBA he is really good.

He's a max guy. 

He's a huge part of a very good team.  The only way you trade him is if the guy coming back has a name like Anthony Davis or something like that

Money well spent! Coming up BIG in the playoffs.

Al Horford, if you reading this, please send me your bank account details, so I can transfer you a couple of dollars, BECAUSE YOU DESERVE MORE THAN A MAX CONTRACT AND I WANT JUSTICE!!

I love the bumping of this thread every game. Bump the Rozier one, too. A lot of guys proving the Internet naysayers wrong, myself included.

[SCeltic34]

Gold.

Al had some poor showings this season, but I never understood the argument that he was overpaid, especially how he played in the playoffs last season.  I knew he would step up again this year when it mattered most.

Just another average game from Average Al, if this is Average I wanna be Average
