As long as the Warriors or the Nuggets! The 40-year-old veteran is determined to retire than to go to the Lakers

The NBA is currently entering the offseason, and all teams are actively adjusting their lineups, seeking trades or signing contracts, with the goal of improving their strength and preparing for the journey of the new season.

During this period, there was a 40-year-old veteran who was highly sought after, and he was Horford. As the 2007 Tanhua Show, Horford was selected into the NBA All-Star lineup and won the NBA championship. In fact, there are no regrets in his career. He likes to play basketball now and wants to continue signing contracts.

Horford averaged 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last season, and is very strong. It is a very suitable substitute for any team with ideas to compete for the NBA championship. Therefore, many teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, hope to introduce Horford.

But Horford has his own pursuits. He has now made a clear goal, either joining the Golden State Warriors, joining the Denver Nuggets, or directly choosing to retire. The Warriors currently lack inside players. Their 10-year veteran Looney has switched to the New Orleans Pelicans, so the team lacks inside players. The Nuggets are working hard to keep Valanciunas, who just traded for the Lithuanian big center, but the latter wanted to return to Europe, and the Nuggets disagreed.

In any case, Horford doesn't want to go to the Lakers, he just wants to join a team that has the ability to compete for the championship and can provide playing time. From this point of view, perhaps the Warriors are really Horford's best next home. After all, the Nuggets already have a substitute center, and Horford is not expected to be able to guarantee his playing time and ball rights. It is understandable that Horford chose to retire. His wife is Miss Dominican, a very famous model, very beautiful, and their family life is also very happy.
