The Golden State Warriors waited all offseason to sign former Celtics center Al Horford to a two-year, $11.6 million contract. He was their top free agency target, but the Warriors had Jonathan Kuminga business to settle first. Horford was (and is) on board with Golden State's vision, but there is one thing that would've prevented him from joining the Warriors.
Horford told ESPN's Anthony Slater that if he didn't win his first title with the Celtics in 2024, he doesn't think he'd be with the Warriors. You might be wondering how those two things are correlated, but it actually goes back to 2022, when Golden State beat Boston in the 2022 NBA Finals.
