Warriors Expected to Sign Free Agents Horford, Melton

The Golden State Warriors are expected to sign veteran free agents Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton despite a slow start to their offseason moves, as reported by NBA insider Marc Stein. Horford, a 39-year-old center coming off a championship season with the Boston Celtics, is considering retirement but remains a top target for the Warriors who need frontcourt stability and playoff experience. Melton, recovering from a torn ACL, is valued for his defensive skills and shooting, and while the Los Angeles Lakers are interested, Golden State is favored to retain him. Additionally, the Warriors have shown interest in acquiring Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal, though his no-trade clause and interest from multiple teams could complicate that signing. The Warriors' roster decisions have been delayed due to contract negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, but the team is expected to act quickly once resolved. These moves are seen as efforts to bolster a roster that has yet to make any acquisitions this offseason amid Western Conference competition.
