Horford to me due to his imperfect fit with KP

I understand your overall logic, so I just focus on this. Why do you think there is an imperfect fit between Horford and KP? I think it is perfect. I think Horford is a much better version of Maxi. He is great defensive player, can switch on perimeter (KP remains C), can hit a three or post up. Plus he gives us much needed veteran presence and winning mentality/experience.

Mainly bc of how he has performed together with Embiid in 2 men-lineups. According to bballref.com they are roughly -1.6 per 100 possessions. In his top 10 most played 2 guy-units only two are negative: Horford + Embiid and Horford + Milton.

I think Horford's best days are behind him when it comes to chasing wings on the perimeter. All three of KP/Horford/Embiid are big dudes who are at best defensively on the inside. Given how much money is at stake I'd look elsewhere.

When we're talking super expensive but still productive vets on their last days I'm more of a CP3 guy. Usage has come down to the low 20s, great TS% (almost 61% in OKC), good metrics defensively, still a darn good PnR handler.

If we're going crazy (and after having used all the other avenues) then that's my name right now.
