Calls Mount for Al Horford to Change Decision After Jonas Valanciunas News

The one player who could do that is Horford. For the last two seasons in Boston, Horford has switched between starting and coming off the bench, only doing the latter when Kristaps Porzingis couldn't play. At 39 years old, an even smaller role in Denver could further conserve Horford, as the Celtics have done.

Stein and Jake Fischer reported late on July 3, "All signs, for the record, continue to point to Al Horford landing with Golden State … eventually." 

That's why many have pleaded for Horford to change this decision and pick Denver instead.

"Just sign Al Horford, and go find a way to get a backup point guard, and the Nuggets are still winning it all," one wrote.

"I need Jonas situation to be official so Nuggets can throw that bag at Horford," another wrote.

"In my opinion, Al Horford should play on the Nuggets and not with the Warriors or Lakers," another stated. "But that’s just one man’s opinion."

"If the Nuggets end up with Horford because of this that’s even better…" one responded to the Valanciunas news.

If Valanciunas gives all the money back from his current NBA contract to Denver, they would have the full mid-level exception to offer Horford.
