Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. recently spoke to the media Friday about the team’s plans as free agency looms.
Specifically, Dunleavy Jr. talked about the chances of both Kirstaps Porzingis and Al Horford returning.
“Yeah, those are guys that we definitely would love to have back,” said Dunleavy Jr.
“They add an element to our team that we haven’t had in the past. Al, specifically with his size, his shooting, his leadership. KP is just a unique, unique player on both ends of the court.”
Given the Warriors’ lack of frontcourt depth besides Draymond Green, Golden State would seemingly welcome a reunion with either or both of the big men.
Of the two, Horford’s path to returning seems to be the most straightforward, as the 19-year veteran holds a player option to return to Golden State for a second season.
As for Porzingis, he’ll hit restricted free agency once again after being acquired in the trade that sent Jonathan Kuminga to the Atlanta Hawks.
