First Woj bomb of the year in D720:
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that the Thunder are all in for Al Horford in free agency this offseason, quoting GM Steve Jobs as saying "He's the perfect fit for our squad and we want to get him back on board."
Horford would complete a well-rounded starting 5 consisting of John Wall, Khris Middleton, Jae Crowder, and Draymond Green.
"Ever since we had to send him to the Knicks to make cap space for Reggie, Khris, and Dray, we've been waiting for this offseason to go all out after him. We've been waiting for the right veteran big man to finish our squad and add more maturity and leadership to our young stars. Now that we've got Jae on board, we're 100% certain that it's time for Al to come back to OKC and help us get our first championship."
Expect the Thunder to make some more moves in pursuit of clearing the cap space for Horford before UFA begins.

Sources: Obvious, but OKC has competition for Horford. Among several other teams, GSW plans to extend an offer of their own. Will the young, up and coming Warriors be able to convince Horford that they'll be ready to contend within his competitive window?

The Golden State would like a great veteran like Al Horford to come and provide some experience for our young roster.
