1. Al Horford

It’s only a matter of time before Philadelphia caves and makes a move to accommodate their star pairing of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. While Al Horford seemed to be a good signing at first – it’s clear Horford isn’t the answer to the 76ers problems.

Instead, the 76ers need shot creators. This opens the door to a potential swap for Al Horford in which the Dubs would include Andrew Wiggins for salary purposes. Gaining a veteran big man like Horford could put the Warriors over the top.

Horford can anchor their interior defense and be a 3-point threat on offense. He is great at using his size to set screens and is a skilled passer at his position. Horford is everything the Warriors need in a center and can be a difference-maker in the postseason.

While it would be difficult to give up Wiggins, the Warriors should be able to replace his production through free agency. Danilo Gallinari is one MLE candidate who could complete this lineup alongside Horford and make the Warriors the unrivaled favorites to win a title.
