Good things are coming! It is revealed that the Warriors will sign Horford for 11 million in 2 years, including the second year player option

Although Kumingga's "farce" has not ended, the Warriors still ushered in a "happy event", which is about the upgrade of the inside.

Isn't this? According to reporter Siegel, the Warriors are predicted to sign Horford for 11 million in two years, including the second year player option. Siegel said that although Horford is a 39-year-old veteran, he is still the best player in the free market at present. Teams including the Lakers, Nuggets, Hawks, Celtics, Bucks and other teams are pursuing him this summer. However, the Warriors have the greatest chance of winning him, and many people in the league believe that the two sides have reached a private agreement.

If both sides really have an interest in each other, it is still easy to understand. 39-year-old Horford is about to retire, and there is no shortage of championship rings and money. Joining the Warriors is nothing more than a decent ending. This means that the Warriors have to give him what he wants, enough respect and a good salary, and more hope for the championship; even if the Warriors miss the championship in the end, Horford will not regret it. After all, he can still fight before retirement, and whether he can succeed depends on God's will.

The contracts of the three veterans, Curry, Butler and Green, have two seasons left, and may also be the "last dance" before retirement. Horford's wish is likely to match these three. The Celtics naturally have feelings for him, but considering that Tatum is still recovering from the championship in the new season, the team has completely withdrawn from the championship, so it is understandable that Horford leaves. But the Warriors are different. They have defeated Horford, and there is a winning culture here; and Horford's ability and playing style are very suitable for this Warriors, and the two sides hit it off.

Last season, he played 60 games for the Celtics, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 36.3%. Although the scoring output and efficiency were declining, he still can expect to be able to achieve "a dead tree in spring" when playing in the Warriors system. The Warriors need his size, height, defense and three-point shooting ability, which can optimize the space of the starting lineup, maximize the threat from Curry and Butler, and further improve the team's offensive and defensive level.

In fact, the Warriors management is already doing experiments. After getting Butler, the team's offensive and defensive efficiency has been improved, the value of center Post has been amplified, and Looney and Payton Jr. have been given up; so in the offseason, the frontcourt shooting has become the goal of strengthening.

Just imagine, what would happen to the Warriors if Post was replaced by Horford last season? He would not have been able to fight the Rockets until the tiebreak, nor would he be swept by the Timberwolves gentleman. After all, you can clear the bottom of the basket and shoot more three-pointers, not just relying on Curry and Hilder's three-pointers.

Since Pachulia left and Cousins was injured and unable to help the Warriors win the championship, Curry has no decent center around him; but the trend of the times is irreversible. Last season's championship teams, the Thunder, Pacers, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Knicks, and Celtics, are all full-space five-in-one lineups. The Warriors still do not have such a main configuration, and once could only rely on a small lineup and a rookie Post.

However, after the management's test, we are sure that we have to improve the lineup configuration and have five foreign lineups in the new season. This is why we give up Looney, Payton Jr. and pursue Horford and Melton, and there may be Brogdon and Lyles. The

lineup may be relatively aging, but the Warriors have no choice, and it has only been two years since they compete for the championship. By the summer of 2027, Brothers and others have all their contracts expire, and Dunleavy's ambitions will also be put on the stage. Jokic and Antetokounmpo may be the new goals.

At that time, Curry either supported him for another two years like Duncan, or "retired from the world of fame and fortune."
