Incredible, the Warriors are incredible! The starting four combine for 147 years of age! The oldest team in NBA history is born.

Shams:Horford has signed with the Warriors on a multi-year deal and will be the team’s starting center.

Immediately after, Horford posted on social media expressing gratitude to the Celtics, saying that helping Boston raise their 18th championship banner will be a lifelong memorable moment.

In the 23-24 season, Horford was instrumental in the Celtics winning the title; in the 24-25 season, he again played for Boston, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game in the regular season, and in the playoffs averaged 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game.

According to statistics, Horford has made over 100 three-pointers each of the past three seasons with a shooting percentage of 41%. Last season, when defending one-on-one, he limited opponents to a 46% shooting rate. Despite being 39 years old, he remains a versatile player with both offensive and defensive skills and the ability to stretch the floor—an excellent modern interior player model.

With Horford joining, the Warriors’ starting five for the new season is set with four confirmed players; the remaining three are naturally Curry (37), Butler (36), and Draymond Green (35),with a combined age of 147 years and an average age of 36.75 years.Opponents hardly dare to defend them aggressively, fearing costly fouls or confrontations.

It’s worth mentioning that the Warriors’ starting shooting guard is predicted to be Hield, a 32-year-old sharpshooter who last season averaged 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game in the regular season, hitting 2.5 three-pointers per game at a 37% clip; in the playoffs, he averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals, shooting 42.9% from beyond the arc with 2.8 three-pointers per game.

Of course, there could be another candidate for the Warriors’ starting shooting guard position,such as Melton, who has already committed to signing, pending resolution of Kuminga’s situation before the official announcement.This guy played for the Warriors last season and showed perfect chemistry as a backcourt partner with Curry, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Besides Horford and Melton, the Warriors have also signed Payton Jr., 2025 second-round pick Will Richardson (#26), and 2025 second-round pick Alex Tuohy (#22).
