Famous reporter: Horford s 10-year-old son may affect his free agent decision, and his personal life is also an important factor

According to NBA insider Marc Spears, Horford's 10-year-old son may affect his decision in the free agency market, because the child began to play away games with his father two seasons ago, and he is a super basketball fan.

As one of the only big names left in the free agent market, Horford has not found a new owner. While it's almost certain now that he won't be back in the Boston Celtics, the big man's future is still unclear, and speculations about which team he will play for next stop—even whether he will continue to play.

NBA insider Marc Spears revealed on the show that the Golden State Warriors had made every effort to sign Horford last week, but the deal failed. It is reported that several other teams have joined the competition.

Marc Spears said: "Golden State obviously expected him to sign last week, but he didn't. The Lakers, the Bucks and the Hawks, I think they are also interested in the player who is nearly 40 years old and is still considering retirement. He is still thinking and is not in a hurry to make a decision."

Marc Spears added, "Horford's personal life is also an important factor in his decision. His sixth child is about to be born. He lives in Atlanta and Boston during the offseason. So I heard that whether it's the Warriors -- or the slightly less-than-degree Lakers, being so far away from his family could affect his decision.

Do you know who I think will be involved in this decision? It's his 10-year-old son, who started playing away games with Horford two seasons ago. He loves basketball. I know he'll say 'Dad-it's Stephen Curry, dad'. All kids love Stephen Curry. I can imagine that this kid will convince his dad to continue playing."

39-year-old Horford averaged 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 60 regular season games last season, with 42 starting games. In the playoffs, he averaged 8 points and 6 rebounds per game. If he decides to continue playing, Horford will usher in his 19th NBA season.
