As the Golden State Warriors have trudged through a largely uncertain offseason, there has been one main constant for the organization to cling to: their handshake deal with veteran center Al Horford.
Yet, according to multiple ESPN insiders, retirement is still a real option on the table for Horford, and the longer the Warriors take to sign him the greater the chance they have of missing out on their biggest target this offseason.
Therefore, while Golden State has been held captive by their contractual stand-off with Jonathan Kuminga, their inability to resolve the situation could come back to bite them as they attempt to build out their roster for next season.
