Horford has been heavily linked to the Warriors on the open market as Golden State star Stephen Curry also hinted as much recently. Per The Athletic’s Anthony Slater, Curry sounds optimistic about Horford joining the Warriors for next season. “He’s a champion, great player,” Curry said. “When…if, when all that stuff happens, I’ll talk about it.”

Al Horford is expected to part ways with the Boston Celtics in free agency after spending the past four seasons with the team, where he won his first NBA Championship in 2024 and served as a veteran leader.

Boston traded Porzingis to Atlanta in a three-team deal last month that also included the Nets, helping the Celtics free up some payroll in the process.

The Celtics dealt Kristaps Porzingis to the Hawks in a trade that slimmed their payroll, but they still had to say farewell to one of their starters.

The Boston Celtics made two big trades this NBA offseason, sending Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers and Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks.
