As the Golden State Warriors have sat stagnant this offseason, they have still maintained a profound interest in bringing in veteran center Al Horford once their lingering stand-off with Jonathan Kuminga has been resolved.
Yet, bringing in a 39-year-old center to an already aging starting lineup could prove to be a massive risk, and, therefore, the Warriors need Horford to stay healthy next season more than anything else.
For his last seven seasons, Horford has not surpassed the 70-game mark, and Golden State will be highly dependent on him, at the very least, reaching this plateau again in order for them to stand a chance in the regular season.
