In recent days, the strong start to the 2024/25 season of the NBA by the Golden State Warriors has hit a snag. The Bay Area franchise suffered a serious injury to De'Anthony Melton.
The player tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, bidding farewell to the remainder of the season, including any hypothetical playoffs. For this reason, according to NBA Rumors reported by Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, the Warriors' intention is to rid themselves of this "obstacle" in the trade market.
"Melton signed a one-year, $12.8 million contract as a free agent last summer. That is a good piece for salary-matching in a deal for Golden State, which will seek to upgrade its roster for another NBA Finals push with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green," Fischer said.
At this moment, the Golden State Warriors continue to lead the Western Conference with a record of 12-4. Behind them is the Oklahoma City Thunder with the same record.
