The Golden State Warriors have been entirely silent this free agency period. However, that doesn\u2019t mean nothing\u2019s happening. Behind the scenes, there\u2019s still buzz. The most reliable Warriors rumors suggest Golden State isn\u2019t done yet and could still land some big names before the offseason\u2019s over.<\/p>\n
NBA insider Marc Stein recently joined the Willard & Dibs show<\/a> and gave some insight on the Warriors’ free agency targets.<\/p>\n \u201cMy expectation is that one way or the other, the Warriors are going to end up with both Horford and Melton on their roster. [And] they still have interest in Bradley Beal.”<\/p>\n The Warriors and Al Horford have been linked since the beginning of free agency. Although he still hasn\u2019t signed, many insiders and NBA executives are expecting Horford to become a Warrior within the next few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n Horford isn\u2019t going to solve all of the Warriors’ problems. He will be 40 years old next season and has absolutely lost a step.\u00a0<\/p>\n That being said, can he start at center for most of the regular season and give Draymond Green\u2019s body a bit of rest? Absolutely.\u00a0<\/p>\n He also should be able to provide key spacing that the Warriors have been dying for. The Warriors are going to need it, too. They are already starting Jimmy Butler and Green, neither are excellent three-point shooter.\u00a0<\/p>\n Horford is a career 36.4% three-point shooter. His numbers took a dip last year, but the two years before, he shot over 40% from deep. With Curry on the court, you know Horford is going to get some great looks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
