The Golden State Warriors have faced challenges during the free agency period, particularly in securing a starting center. The recent signings of Clint Capela and Brook Lopez by rival teams in the Western Conference have left the Warriors in search of alternatives. Lopez joined the Los Angeles Clippers, while Capela returned to the Houston Rockets, diminishing the pool of viable center options for Golden State.

In light of these developments, the Warriors are reportedly interested in veteran Al Horford, but competition from other contending teams poses a significant hurdle. Moreover, Chris Boucher has emerged as a potential candidate, though questions about his matchup viability exist. With each passing day of free agency, the Warriors' options for a starting center seem to dwindle.
