Having been chasing James for 1 and a half years, the Warriors have settled 5 new players! They have targeted 3 targets and upgraded to the 15-man formation

The Warriors, who have been silently pursuing James for one and a half years, have been strengthened since the offseason, have been revealed to have completed the oral agreement with the five new players! He also set his sights on three major trading goals and tried to upgrade the 15-man formation and helped Curry win the championship.

dealt with the five new players

Since the issues of Kumingga's contract renewal and trading have not been resolved for a long time, the Warriors are the only team with zero reinforcement so far in the offseason, but the Golden State management has not done nothing and has reached several oral franchise agreements in private.

According to reports from many famous reporters including Siegel, the Warriors have reached oral franchise agreements with five new players, Horford, Melton, Payton Jr., Curry Jr. and Brogdon.

famous reporter Jake Fischer revealed in his latest podcast that Melton and Payton Jr. are expected to reach basic salary contracts with the Warriors, which is exactly the same as Siegel's previous report, who pointed out that Curry Jr. will also sign basic salary.

And the latest new player Brogden exposed by NBA reporter Ary will also sign a veteran's basic salary contract with the Warriors.

As for the most important inside signing target, Horford, is expected to get a $5.7 million mini middle class special case, with the second year as the player option.

For the Warriors, Horford is undoubtedly the most important new player, especially in the context of Looney's departure in the offseason. Horford, an inside line with perfect style complements the Warriors, will become the Warriors' undisputed starting inside line.

As for the two "old players" Melton and Payton Jr., the former had formed a stable chemical reaction with Curry before being injured last season, and once firmly sat in the starting position, while the latter has always been one of the important rotations of the Warriors and will provide the arrow defense that the Warriors need.

The other two new players Brogden and Payton Jr. are both defenders, and the Warriors' backcourt reserves are seriously exceeding the standard. With Brogden's joining, there is huge uncertainty about whether the Warriors will still sign Curry Jr.

Potential 15-man roster

If as several famous reporters said, the Warriors have already settled five new players, and then successfully completed the signing after solving the issue of Kumingga's contract renewal, the potential 15-man roster is as follows:

Potential starters: Curry, Melton, Butler, Zhu Meng, Horford;

It is expected that substitutes: Boger, Brogdon, Curry Jr., Payton Jr., Santos, Hilder, TJD, Post, Kumingga and Moody.

has been chasing James for a year and a half, while 5 new players were getting 5 new players in the free market, the Warriors are also actively strengthening in the trading market. According to famous reporter Jake Fischer, the Warriors have asked the Lakers about the possibility of trading James on the past year and a half.

Jake Fischer bluntly stated that if Kumingga finally accepts a two-year, $45 million contract extension, and James' future is still not confirmed, the Warriors will undoubtedly be regarded as James' potential suitor.

In addition, the Warriors have a strong interest in Murphy and have asked the Pelicans for the possibility of a deal, but the latter attaches great importance to Murphy and asks for multiple first-round picks. At the same time, the Spurs are also interested in Murphy.

ClutchPoints famous reporter Brett Siegel followed up and pointed out that the Warriors are indeed very optimistic about Murphy and had considered Murphy as early as before the 21st draft selection.

But the current situation is that the probability of the Warriors getting Murphy is basically zero, because the Pelicans only want multiple first rounds and have to add young talents to the reward.

Compared to James and Murphy, another Warriors' intentional goal is Cody Martin of the Suns.
