Horford + Melton + Bill! The Warriors want it all! Fan: Dunleavy wakes up and knows how to work!

In this offseason free agent market, the Golden State Warriors' movements have attracted much attention. They seem to have clear goals in signings, with Horford and Melton being the focus of it.

According to famous reporter Marc Stein, sources revealed that many rival teams believe that the Warriors are the biggest favorites to sign Horford and Melton. This statement is not groundless. Judging from the situation of the two players, there seems to be a certain connection between them and the Warriors.

Look at Melton first. He played for the Warriors last season, but he ended his journey with the Warriors early due to season reimbursement in just 6 games. In these 6 games, he averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists per game. It is worth mentioning that he has hit 38% of three-point shooting percentage in the past five seasons and has averaged 1.4 steals per game, showing good outside shooting ability and defensive strength.

However, he started in a hot state last season, and was torn apart by the ACL after only 6 games, and was then traded to the Nets for Schroeder. Recently, the two fans met this free agent who was in the midst of rumors and started an interesting conversation. When asked if he signed with the Lakers, Melton made it clear: "I won't go there." When asked whether to return to the Warriors, Melton just smiled and didn't answer, and then took a photo with the two fans. His reaction also made people more curious about where he was going.

Looking at Horford, in the 2024-25 season, he played 60 regular season games for the Celtics, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists; in the playoffs, he made 11 appearances, averaging 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game, and he can make a certain contribution to the team on both offense and defense.

However, according to previous reports from ESPN famous reporter Spears, Horford is about to welcome his sixth child. He lives in Atlanta and Boston. His distance from his family may affect his decision, which also adds some variables to whether he will join the Warriors.

In addition, according to Substack reporter Stein, the Warriors are expected to sign both Horford and Melton, but they are still interested in Bradley-Bill. Warriors fans sighed: Dunleavy finally woke up and knew how to work!

If the Warriors can successfully sign Horford and Melton, and if they can get Bill, the team's lineup depth will undoubtedly be greatly improved, which may make them more competitive in the new season. But the final signing result still needs to be announced.
