Al Horford Becomes Unrestricted Free Agent, Wants Long-Term Deal Away from Boston

The Boston Celtics might look significantly different come next season as the organization might be losing one of their main pieces on the team.

With Kyrie Irving ghosting the franchise for this free agency, Al Horford has declined his $30.1 million player option for next season and is looking for a long-term deal out of Boston, according to ESPN. Adrian Wojnarowski reports that he wants a three or four year deal and the two sides were pretty far apart when negotiations were on the table.

Neither Horford or the Celtics could close on a deal to resign.

This is a massive loss for the C’s, considering Al is very loved in the locker room and one of the veterans on the squad that took the young core under his wing in his tenure with the team. He has been credited as being one of the leaders of the team and a “glue guy” during their playoff runs.

It’ll be interesting to see where the All Star center signs next season.
