The Golden State Warriors aren't in the position they wanted to be in during the middle of August. Jonathan Kuminga's future is uncertain, as he refused to sign the two-year, $45 million deal the Warriors offered. Until something happens with him, the team's offseason will remain in a standstill.
Al Horford is the biggest free agent name on Golden State's radar, and there is a chance that he might not even play in another NBA game again. If he does eventually sign with the Warriors, it's not like his addition will significantly boost their title odds.
