After several months in limbo, the Golden State Warriors’ offseason plans are finally seeing some clarity as they are reportedly signing Al Horford to a multi-year deal. The move brings a veteran presence to the frontcourt, something the team had been targeting early in free agency. This will be Horford’s 19th NBA season, after spending the last 7 years with the Boston Celtics. The timing is closely tied to Jonathan Kuminga’s contract situation. As a restricted free agent, Kuminga has until October 1 to accept the Warriors’ $7.9 million qualifying offer. The team has also proposed a three-year, $75 million extension, but Kuminga desires a player option, which has caused a conflict of interest in the negotiations. (Hang tight as we break this down…) 

Could Al Horford’s latest Warriors deal change the team’s dynamics? Explore what his experience brings to Golden State’s lineup.
