As the Golden State Warriors have negotiated reported handshake deals with numerous veteran free agents this offseason, the finalization of these contracts have been put on hold by their lingering stand-off with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
Yet, even once Kuminga's saga comes to an end, the Warriors will have another complex task on their hands in attempting to sort out the specifics of veteran center Al Horford's deal, who will likely not take the minimum and require more than one year on his contract.
Yet, Golden State undoubtedly needs Horford's services in a desperate fashion, leading perhaps to another financial ballyhoo this offseason.
