Warriors may sign Al Horford to surprise contract that comes back to bite them

Al Horford's move to the Golden State Warriors remains on track, having been stalled for seven weeks by the unresolved restricted free agency of Jonathan Kuminga.

Yet there could be a surprise new twist when it comes to Horford's contract with the Warriors, having been slated to get the $5.7 million taxpayer mid-level exception from almost the same moment he was linked to the franchise in the hours before free agency began.

Al Horford has been predicted to get a two-year deal from the Warriors

While Horford is still reportedly contemplating retirement this offseason, the 39-year-old could force Golden State into giving him a second season on his contract in the event he wants to play on into a 20th NBA season.
