Extraordinary recruitment of Horford? The Warriors create the "Five Death Elders" formation, and it is unlikely that there will be greater reinforcement this summer

Since entering the 2025 offseason, many teams in the league have completed upgrades and strengthening.

Only the Golden State Warriors have not made any moves in lineup strengthening so far after the playoffs. The only thing that the team can call is that they chose Tuxi with a second round of picks at this year's draft, but judging from the performance of the summer league, the player's level is limited and it is probably not helpful.

However, Warriors fans still hope that the team can sign or trade to get a capable star.

At present, old center Al Horford may be the Warriors' biggest target candidate so far this offseason, and it is also possible to become the Warriors' only heavy-handed signing.

A few days ago, according to Ary, league sources revealed that the Warriors are expected to receive a promise from Al Horford to join.

"Horford will bring leadership and frontcourt depth to the Warriors, and the team is re-aligning its rotation after Kevin Looney leaves the team to join New Orleans." After

, famous reporter Marc Stein reported that all signs Horford is about to sign with the Warriors.

In addition, according to Bay Area Sports Radio 95.7 The Game host Mark Grandy, the Warriors have reached a handshake agreement with Al Horford, and both parties are expected to finalize the terms of the contract only after deciding what to do with Jonathan Cumingga.

"Al Horford has not signed a contract yet and is not considering retirement. As far as I know, the Golden State Warriors have reached a franchise agreement with him, but according to the judgment of Kumingga, the content of the agreement may be slightly modified."

After the Nuggets officially forced Valanciunas and the Lakers signed Ayton, Horford's most likely next team is the Warriors. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the two parties reach an agreement.

The Warriors' acquisition of Horford will definitely be of great help to their team as a whole. After all, the Warriors' center position was originally weak, and now Ronny is gone again, leaving only Post as a rookie center. The team's interior is almost in a vacuum. The arrival of Horford can also help the Warriors form an alternative lineup, which is what fans call the "Death Five Elders".

Kor's death five little ones were famous all over the world. The combination of Curry, Clay, Durant, Iguodala and Dream Chasing can be said to be invincible in the world. That lineup made Cole and the Warriors. To this day, it still makes people miss it.

With Horford's skills and characteristics, he can help the Warriors recreate five small lineups. However, in terms of age, these players are older than the other.

Curry in 1988, Butler in 1989, 1990 years of dream pursuit, and Horford in 1986, are simply a group of old men happy. It is said that the Warriors are also trying to pursue Bill, who is about to be bought out by the Suns. Then, the Warriors' "Death Five Elders" lineup is about to come out. The problem is that Horford seems to be a little above Cole's budget. We all know that Cole and the Warriors like old, short, and seriously injured. In Horford's resume, height obviously does not meet the requirements of the Warriors because he is too tall.

But this time, if Horford finally joins the Warriors, it would be said that Coach Cole hired him out of order.

It is hard to imagine that the Rockets get Durant from other teams; the Lakers sign Ayton; the Nuggets get Cameron Johnson; the Clippers trade to Collins, and it is possible to sign Bill; and the Warriors' biggest signing in this offseason is Horford, who is about to turn 40.

This really makes Warriors fans feel heartbroken. I wish them all the best in the new season.
