Refusing to join the Lakers! Melton personally admits that he can t go to Los Angeles, and the Warriors become the biggest favorite?

On July 16, an off-field "Reuters" ignited a fan discussion - two lucky fans shared their experience of meeting free agent Dantoni Melton on social media, and directly asked the potential whereabouts of the defender at the center of trading rumors.

Faced with the fans' straightforward question "Will you sign with the Lakers?", Melton gave a decisive response: "I won't go there." But when asked "Will you return to the Golden State Warriors", a mysterious smile rose on the corner of Melton's mouth, without giving a clear answer, leaving unlimited room for imagination.

Melton's silent smile is not groundless. Not long ago, the well-known NBA reporter Marc Stein reported that the Warriors have become a "strong contender" and even a leader in re-signing Melton in the free market. In addition, league sources revealed that many teams, including the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Phoenix Suns, and the Los Angeles Lakers who were personally denied by Melton, have inquired about the defensive strongman, which shows its market value.

Last season was full of twists and turns for Melton. He played for the Warriors at the beginning of the season, but unfortunately suffered a serious injury to the ACL and underwent surgery, resulting in early reimbursement of the season. Then, before the trade deadline, he was sent to the Brooklyn Nets by the Warriors. Although he only played 6 games, Melton still handed over a comprehensive data order of 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 20.2 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 40.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.1%, demonstrating his plug-and-play value as a "3D" wing.
