At the beginning of the 2025 NBA Free Agency, over a week ago, the interest of the Los Angeles Lakers in De'Anthony Melton was revealed. However, the salary cap issues of the L.A. franchise have hindered the negotiations. In this context, the Golden State Warriors have emerged.
The Bay's team has yet to make moves in the market. They have Al Horford on their radar, and it is assumed that Jonathan Kuminga will soon renew. But for now, nothing. However, that could change and directly affect the Lakers because GSW also wants Melton.
As reported by the NBA Rumors insider Marc Stein from The Stein Line, the Warriors "are very interested in re-signing De'Anthony Melton."
Last summer, Melton already signed a one-year deal with the Warriors for $12.8 million. However, he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets mid-season in exchange for Dennis Schröder and the 2025 2nd round Draft pick.
