The Golden State Warriors reportedly believed they were set to land Al Horford in free agency last week, though the veteran big man remains on the market.

Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists last season, providing the Boston Celtics with steady defense and smart floor spacing. A potential move to Golden State would give the Warriors exactly the type of low-maintenance veteran presence they lack down low.

Horford, a five-time All-Star, is an excellent defender and shot over 39% from 3 since he returned to the Celtics in 2022. He'd be a good fit with Curry and the Warriors, who saw big man Kevon Looney leave for the New Orleans Pelicans after 10 seasons with Golden State.
