As the Golden State Warriors have attempted to find a solution to their desperate need at the position of center this offseason, veteran Al Horford has been the most likely candidate to join the team from the outset of free agency.
Yet, as NBA Insider Jake Fischer has confirmed, it is very possible that Horford commands both more than the veteran minimum and more than just one year on his deal: a fact that reveals how badly the team needs the veteran's services.
As they attempt to give themselves as much financial flexibility as possible in the coming seasons, the Warriors would typically be adverse to this kind of deal for a veteran, but, in this case, they might not have a choice.
