The Warriors are set to sign Kerr's favored player, who previously averaged 10+3 with the team; in the new season, he will partner with Curry in the backcourt.

The new season is approaching, and most teams have largely settled their rosters. The Warriors, however, have not finalized their complete lineup, so further adjustments are likely. Several players will be added progressively. This is mainly due to unresolved contract matters concerning Kuminga. Once those issues are settled, these player signings will be completed one after another.

Horford is expected to join the Warriors, Payton Jr. will re-sign, and Seth Curry will also become part of the team. Beyond these players, fans are particularly excited about another addition who could inject fresh energy into the Warriors’ new season—Melton. It is reported that Melton’s joining the Warriors is almost confirmed.

Melton’s arrival will have a deeper impact on the Warriors because among these players, he is the most versatile and the youngest. He can influence both offense and defense for the team. Last season, Melton wore the Warriors jersey, but unfortunately, he suffered an injury mid-season. During the games he played for the Warriors, his performance was outstanding, averaging over 10 points and 3 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage exceeding 37%. Due to his impressive pre-season performance, Coach Kerr started Melton in the opening games, demonstrating his trust and fondness for him.

If Melton appears in the Warriors’ lineup next season, he is likely to be a starter, potentially replacing Bjelica and partnering with Curry in the backcourt. This would create a starting lineup of Curry, Melton, Butler, Green, and Horford, offering a well-balanced offense and defense. Additionally, Melton can finish plays offensively on the court and lead the team when Curry and Butler rest.

Therefore, we eagerly anticipate the changes Melton’s addition will bring to the Warriors next season. Of course, we also hope he stays healthy. Kerr will likely use Melton cautiously, carefully managing his playing time. Only when fully healthy can Melton have a long-term positive impact on the Warriors. We hope the refreshed Warriors can set sail again and return to the Finals stage once more.
