The Warriors' reinforcement announcement is a success, with Kerr admitting the new addition perfectly complements Curry, making their tactics unbeatable for the new season.

The Warriors have taken part in multiple preseason matches, using these opportunities to assess their new recruits. Up to now, the offseason acquisitions by the Warriors appear to be effective, particularly the addition of one individual who will greatly improve their tactical approach next season—Al Horford.

In the recent preseason games, Horford's impact has become clear. He can shoot threes from the perimeter and also provide high-quality defense inside. Although Horford is nearing 40, his physical condition remains excellent, allowing him to hold his own against younger players. His speed on the court is impressive, even enabling him to lead fast breaks with the ball. Horford's current form suggests he can continue playing effectively for another two to three years. His strong discipline is a key reason he maintains such efficiency at his age.

Kerr recently spoke about Horford, stating that he is a player who meshes very well with Curry. Fans have noticed this too; during pick-and-roll plays with Curry, Horford can pop out beyond the three-point line to shoot. His off-ball movement is excellent, and he can finish with mid-range shots. He is better suited to pair with Curry than any center the Warriors have had in recent years. Compared to Green, Horford is taller, and compared to Looney, he has superior outside shooting, making them a perfect inside-outside duo. The only downside is that Horford joined the Warriors quite late.

In the new season, the Warriors may build their tactical system around Curry and Horford. The pair will likely run many pick-and-rolls during the regular season, with Horford getting numerous open three-point opportunities. Curry’s offensive space will also improve. When partnering with Looney, opponents often played five defenders against four Warriors players. Now, with Horford's ability to stretch the floor, it can ease the defensive pressure on Curry. Overall, the Warriors’ tactics could become more unstoppable next season, forcing opponents into a dilemma when defending the Curry-Horford combination.
