2:27pm, 3 July 2025Basketball

NBA veteran Horford has officially left the Celtics to become an unrestricted free agent. Now, he hopes to join a team that truly respects him. The Western Conference Clippers have olive branches to him, offering a $5.2 million a year mini middle class contract. Horford played a huge role during the Celtics' championship and was one of the important contributors to the championship. Today, the player is eager to work with the Clippers to express his desire to work with Harden to compete for the championship trophy. He pointed out that he had played against Harden in the playoffs and knew that Harden was extraordinary. Horford believes that Harden is the best player to cooperate with inside players, so he believes that the tacit cooperation with Harden will be impeccable and help the Clippers win the championship. Horford's remarks excited Clippers fans, and they all said that with his promise, the Clippers were one step closer to signing him.

Some people also believe that the Clippers will select some veterans in the free market every year, and players who are not optimistic will not be considered at all. Although Horford is close to 40 years old and has a slightly limited mobility, it cannot be ignored that his game experience and shooting skills are still excellent. Previously, he had successfully implemented dunks against Antetokounmpo in the playoffs, showing excellent physical fitness. Harden highly praised Horford in the interview, believing he was one of the underrated players and his arrival will effectively broaden the Clippers' offensive space.
