It s a foregone conclusion! Former Celtics inside veteran will join the Warriors after the end of Kumingga time

According to ESPN authoritative reporter Shams Charania, formerly in free agency, Al Horford, has reached an agreement with the Golden State Warriors, who received a multi-year agreement from the Warriors. Shams also added that Horford had reached a verbal agreement with the Warriors on Sunday (US time).

Shams continued: According to a source, the two sides are finalizing the final contract details, but Horford's signing will not be finalized after the final decision of the forward player Jonathan Kuminga, who is still in restricted free agent form, makes the final decision. The fact is that Horford was listed as the number one center signing target by the Warriors as early as the free market opened in July, when he was considering whether to play for the Warriors or choose to retire. After that, various news came, and it was basically confirmed that Horford would sign a two-year contract with the Warriors with a total amount of about $11.7 million, of which the second year of the contract was a player option. Although there is nothing particularly fresh about Shams's news, his authority is there, which also shows that no matter how the situation of Kumingga develops next, Horford will sign the Warriors with such a similar contract, and this contract is a foregone conclusion.

In the NBA regular season last season, Horford played 60 times in 82 games, with averaging 27.7 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.9 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 42.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 36.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 89.5%. In the playoffs, Horford played 11 games in total, with averaging 31.6 minutes per game, with an average of 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%.

Because Celtics' forward star Jayson Tatum suffered a serious injury in the playoffs, he will be reimbursed in the new season. The Celtics were also forced to undergo huge changes in strategy. The team sent away several important rotation players to reduce total salary. Horford also left the Celtics after their contract with the team expired. I have to say that Horford is really a very patient player. The free market has been in operation for almost 3 months. The Warriors have not signed with him so far due to the influence of Kumingga, but he is still willing to continue waiting, which also shows that he really hopes to join the Warriors. I don't know what kind of performance he will perform with the Warriors in the new season.
