ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel talks about the remaining players in the free market in the latest article. According to Siegel's forecast, former Boston Celtic veteran center Al Horford will receive a two-year contract of about $11 million from the Golden State Warriors.

Siegel wrote: We turn our attention to 39-year-old Al Horford, the best full free agent in the free market right now. Horford is still an influential talent, which is why there are countless teams pursuing him in the offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks and his old club, the Celtics, have expressed interest in him over the past few weeks. However, the Warriors' attractiveness to Horford is becoming increasingly greater, and many people in the league believe that Horford and the team have reached a private agreement. If any team in the league makes the most sense to the veteran at this stage of his career, it is the Warriors. Horford will be another key veteran to fill the Warriors' frontcourt vacancy, which is also the secret to the team's success in their previous championship journey. Personally, Horford will receive a two-year contract of about $11 million for the Warriors, with the second year part also including player options.

In the NBA regular season last season, Horford made a total of 60 appearances in 82 games, averaging 27.7 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.9 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 42.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 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%.

The Warriors lost Kevon Looney, the veteran insider in the team this summer. It seems that it is difficult for the young insider in the team to take the lead. The team really needs to introduce a strong and experienced insider to enhance the overall competitiveness of the team. Horford is impeccable in terms of experience, but judging from the situation last season, his decline in ability was also quite obvious, which was fully reflected in the playoffs. The bigger problem now is that because the Warriors were restrained by Jonathan Kuminga's contract renewal, Horford still cannot complete the signing. If the situation cannot be changed, we don’t know if Horford will continue to wait for the Warriors.
