Al Horford: Next level tanking in NBA

How to be Al Horford? You won’t see him in an NBA game until next season, but he’s not injured. He is healthy and active, and he can engage in any activity he likes. He will also cash in 27.5 million dollars this year. Not bad for a 34-year-old center. Did I also mention that he’s married to Miss Universe 2003?

It’s hard to call Horford a victim given these facts, but he is not on the court because of a mutual agreement with the OKC Thunder. He’ll remain with the team, practice in their facility. Mentor the young Thunder turks (half of whom I can’t recall anymore) and, as reported, wait for the OKC management to find “a destination that fits better at this stage of his career.”
