Warriors rumors: What is the reason why Al Horford s signing is blocked?

Currently, a Warriors player becomes a free agent, which seems to be the reason that prevents Golden State Warriors from signing Al Horford.

At first, Al Horford's joining the Golden State Warriors seemed to be a foregone conclusion. However, with the hot NBA free agent market, Horford still has not signed. This has worried Golden State Warriors fans whether the report that Horford is considering retirement rather than continuing his career is true. However, according to Bay Area Radio host Mark Grandy, there may be no need to worry.

According to Grandy's report, Horford's joining the Warriors is still in progress. However, the current factor that hinders the Warriors’ signing is Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Cumingga’s free agent status. Unfortunately, Kumingga is currently a restricted free agent and is testing the free market. This means Warriors fans may have to wait a while before they can see Horford wearing royal blue and yellow robe.

Why did Jonathan Kumingga block Al Horford's signing with the Warriors?

Apparently, Kumingga's free agent market started slowly. However, according to ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Segal, there are already several suitors interested in him, and the end result may be announced soon.

"Well, it's been a long time, but the deadlock between Kumingga and the Warriors is still not resolved. The longer it drags on, the more likely it will be for the two sides to reach some kind of short-term agreement, which will allow the Warriors to make the most of his new contract value when Kumingga meets the trading conditions in December, rather than just 50% of the amount when signing and then swapping, as it is now."

"Area source told ClutchPoints that in the offseason, the competition is against The hands did not show any obvious momentum in signing a offer with Kuminga. Although the Sacramento Kings are known to be interested in him, their first sign-and-after-transfer negotiations with the Warriors have never made progress. "

" Sources said that if Kuminga is traded, the Golden State Warriors would rather not send him to the Kings." Therefore, with the NBA's annual Las Vegas Summer League coming to an end, it is hoped that the dispute between Kuminga and the Warriors will be resolved. Whether he returns to the Golden State Warriors on a shorter contract or signs and then exchanges, Warriors fans must wait patiently until the problem is resolved. Once the problem is resolved, Horford will soon return to the Warriors.
