Horford is still a good player, and his contract is considerably more team-friendly, with a final year in 2022–23 that is only partially guaranteed. However, it's hard to see how he fits next to James on the Celtics' roster given that both players prefer to play center. Even if Boston were willing to trade Horford, there aren't many teams that would do so. Ultimately, this move shows that Danny Ainge is looking to get younger and bring in some of the young talent that he has drafted over the years. This season, they signed Jayson Tatum to a maximum contract extension and traded for Thomas Bryant who will be able to help at both forward positions. They also have Alade Aminu on their roster who can play either guard position. By trading for Moses Brown, they are hoping that he will be able to help out now and in the future. Moses Brown was the No. 3 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Since then, he has played only 44 games due to injuries. As a rookie, he appeared in 76 games and averaged 2.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. This past season, he started 39 games for the New York Knicks and averaged 10.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest.
