The Golden State Warriors are going to be asking a lot of a 39-year-old Al Horford next season, assuming the veteran center eventually signs with the franchise in free agency as is widely expected.
Young duo Trayce Jackson-Davis and particularly Quinten Post should be able to lessen the burden on Horford during the regular season, but they may not be ideal options come the playoffs if the 18-year veteran were to get injured or become physically worn down.
The Warriors haven't been linked to many other veteran center options outside Horford this offseason, but that could change if surging buyout rumors come true which would gift the franchise a dream insurance plan.
