NBA Rumors: Warriors reportedly want to bring back key player in free agency to support Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly intensifying efforts to make strategic roster enhancements for the upcoming NBA season. Speculation is swirling around the potential targets the Warriors are considering to strengthen their lineup and provide robust support for their star player, Stephen Curry.

Amid reports of the Warriors’ interest in acquiring Al Horford, which could significantly shift the team’s strategic approach, the focus now pivots to other potential offseason acquisitions aimed at bolstering the team’s chances of clinching the NBA title next season.

The Warriors‘ front office is also reportedly reassessing their own previous assets, considering bringing back a player who saw limited action last season. According to a report by Marc Stein from The Stein Line, there’s renewed interest in De’Anthony Melton.

“The Warriors have emerged as a strong contender to bring back De’Anthony Melton in free agency, league sources tell The Stein Line,” noted Stein, indicating the team’s potential plans to reintegrate Melton into their roster for the next season.

Fans are buzzing about the possibility of Melton’s return, particularly scrutinizing his statistics from last season. Having played just six games, with one start, in the regular season there’s ongoing debate about whether his return would indeed fortify the Warriors’ lineup.

In those limited appearances, Melton averaged 10.3 points over 20.2 minutes per game, alongside contributions on the boards with 3.3 rebounds per game, 1.0 offensive and 2.3 defensive. He also posted a 62% free throw conversion rate last season.

Despite the Warriors’ apparent interest, the fan base remains vocal on social media regarding the team’s relatively silent offseason. With no significant additions so far, fans are eagerly anticipating the moves Golden State might make to bolster their chances and support Curry.
