Signing 5 people in a row! The Warriors who had been silent for a summer finally couldn t sit still

This summer, when all teams in the league were actively recruiting and strengthening, only the Golden State Warriors remained silent and never signed a contract. This is not because the Warriors are full or have a "clean dysfunction" of signing newcomers, but because they are defended by the offseason's "best defensive player" Kumingga alone.

Cumminga, who is self-reliant in his historical physical talent and his boss Lakob loves, not only wants a multi-year contract of no less than $2,500,000, but also wants to have player options in the last year to ensure that he has the initiative in the future. Although the Warriors want to keep Kumingga, they are unwilling to be "subords". In order to free up enough salary space in 27 years, they have continuously reduced Kumingga's price and set the last year as a team option. Both teams were unwilling to make concessions and fought each other, and the farce was performed for a whole month.

Just the day before today and the new season media day, the Warriors finally couldn't sit still and officially started strengthening. According to famous reporter Shams, the Warriors reached an oral agreement with Horford (will serve as the starting center), Payton Jr. and Melton Melton, signed a four-year contract with this year's second round pick Richardson and a two-way contract with this year's 52 show Tuxi. The specific salary of Horford, Payton Jr. and Melton will not be officially decided after the contract of Kumingga is finalized. It is expected that Horford will sign the 2-year Mini Middle School, Payton Jr. and Melton will sign the veteran's basic salary.

Horford is an inside player with valuable championship experience and comprehensive skills. On the offensive end, Horford can pick-and-roll and eat cakes, and can also open up space for long shots on the outside. At the same time, he also has certain low-post singles and organizational support skills, which can greatly enrich the Warriors' skills and tactics; on the defensive end, Horford has a level of co-protective frame technology and good defense skills among big men. He and Green will start, which will make the Warriors' overall defense line more consolidated. Of course, Horford is already 39 years old and his competitive state is definitely not as good as his peak period. It is not realistic to expect him to change the game. It is almost the icing on the cake.

Peton Jr. and Melton are both old Warriors players and high-quality role players with distinctive characteristics. In addition, they are familiar with the Warriors' personnel composition and tactical playing style, I believe they will find a position in the rotation soon and show their value. Interestingly, according to reporter Brett Siegel, after Melton's contract expires this summer, the Los Angeles Clippers, Lakers, and some Western Conference teams have had close contact with Melton, but Melton and the Warriors have always maintained a "strong" willingness. Last season, Melton played for the Warriors in 6 games, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with excellent offense and defense. It was once considered the answer to the Warriors' starting second position. Unfortunately, he later suffered a torn ACL and severe injury and was reimbursed for the season.

This year's No. 56 pick Richardson competed in the Summer League for the Warriors this summer, showing good potential and immediate combat ability. He averaged 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The Warriors signed a long-term contract with him this time, probably because they wanted to make long-term investments in him. As long as Richardson competes for some success, he is expected to compete for regular rotation in the new season.

Compared to Richardson, the Warriors' other rookie this year's prospects are not that good. In this summer league, Tuxi performed very mediocrely, with poor physical confrontation, unhappy balls, and insufficient offense and defense stability. The author believes that the Warriors signed him with a two-way contract to enhance the strength of the team's Santa Cruz Warriors, a team under the Development League. Tuxi will basically hang out in the Development League in the new season, and only play in the team when the team encounters injuries or garbage time.

It is worth mentioning that the Warriors' signing reinforcement has not ended. According to the additional report of shams, the Warriors and Curry's younger brother Seth Curry are still in close contact. If the team's salary after Kuminga signs a new contract is lower than the second-level tycoon line, the Warriors are likely to choose Curry Jr. to become the 15th man on the team's official roster. Let’s see what kind of contract Kuminga will reach with the Warriors in the future.
