This comes immediately after the Sixers reportedly dealt Jimmy Butler to the Miami Heat in a sign-and-trade for Josh Richardson.
Philadelphia can now boast a starting lineup of Horford, Richardson, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris. That’s an impressive bunch, to say the least.
Horford, 33, averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 68 games for the Celtics last season.
