According to reports, the Horford accepts the multi -year contract with Golden State Warriors

This signature has been scheduled since the beginning of the low season, but has been suspended for months pending the resolution of the situation of free limited agency by Jonathan Kuminga. Now, with training fields one day later, warriors can no longer wait.

Golden State and the Horford verbally agreed with a multi -year contract, A story broken by Shams Charania by Espn and confirmed by other sources. He leaves a team of Boston in which he helped to mature their young core and it was a fundamental part of their race of the 2024 championship, and Horford essentially confirmed the agreement with the Warriors thanking the Celtics fans.

Exactly what seems the new Horford contract still depends on how the Kuminga situation takes place (As Keith Smith of Spotrac explains). If Kuminga collects the $ 8 million qualification offer, Golden State can give Horford the complete exception of average level ($ 14.1 million this year, with increases later), has turned on the warriors to the first apron of the luxury tax. If the Warriors and Kuminga elaborate an extension before Wednesday’s expiry (probably for the north of $ 20 million per season), Warriors can still offer the medium -level exception of taxpayers ($ 5.7 million) and the team would be soda in the second apron. In any case, Warriors must sign at least four other players with De’anthony Melton, Gary Payton II and Seth Curry expected to constitute three of these (all for the minimum).

Horford, 39 years old, is a natural solution in a floor spacing center that backups (sometimes next to) Draymond Green in the offense of the warriors, also remains a solid defender. That’s why the Warriors targeted him at the beginning of the free agency. Horford wants to compete for something in the last two years of his career and the Warriors – with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler – they offer him this opportunity, if this older team can remain healthy when the playoffs rolled.
