Al Horford continues to consider his options in free agency as he is set to leave the Boston Celtics. The Golden State Warriors are considered the frontrunners to sign Horford, but he is also considering the Los Angeles Lakers or even retirement.


"I'm told he is reviewing multiple options including the Warriors, the Lakers, but also retirement," said Shams Charania on a Thursday afternoon Sports Center appearance. "He is 39 years old. He just finished season 18. I'm told it would be a surprise if he makes a final decision by this weekend. He certainly has earned the right to make a decision at his own time.


"I will say though the Warriors are hopeful of where they stand in all this if Al Horford decides to play again."


Horford would he a strong theoretical fit with the Warriors due to his passing, perimeter shooting and defense. 


Horford, who is represented by Jason Glushon, has also been linked with the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.


Last season, Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.3 percent on three-pointers for the Celtics.

Lakers could use Horford off the bench, but they are going to fumble and rely on Ayton and Hayes. Warriors are going to get Horford and make a decent playoff run with him, unless injuries stop them again.
