It is expected that the old team Warriors will not return! The final destination of the backcourt general may be the Lakers?

According to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, more and more people in the league believe that De 'Anthony Melton, a backcourt player currently in free agency, will eventually join the Los Angeles Lakers. According to previous news, Melton and his old club Golden State Warriors had an interest in each other, but it seems that the actual situation is not the case, and the situation has changed dramatically in a short period of time. Last summer, Melton signed a one-year contract with the Warriors, with a total amount of $12.82 million. In the NBA regular season last season, Melton played 6 times in total for the Warriors, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.1%, and free throw shooting percentage was 62.5%. In fact, Melton's performance in these games is still highlighted. He has shown quite good outside shooting ability on the offensive end, he can also undertake certain scoring tasks, he also has some passing and organizational abilities, and his contribution on the defensive end is also very outstanding. He is also a very good defender.

Regrettably, Melton, who was in good shape, was directly reimbursed for the season due to a torn ACL shortly after the start of last season. In order to keep the team competitive enough, the Warriors also chose to send Melton to the Brooklyn Nets after he was injured and exchanged Dennis Schroder from the Nets. Melton has been in a state of recuperation since then, and he has not participated in a game on behalf of the Nets. This summer, the contract in Melton's hand expired, and he has become a complete free agent again.

Melton's previous performance in the NBA was of course quite good. He was also able to play a key role in both offense and defense. This is also an important factor in the Warriors' choice to issue a contract for him with the full middle class special case in his hand last summer. But on the other hand, Melton has just experienced a major injury. How is his condition, whether he has completely escaped from the impact of injury, and whether he has the ability to play an important role next season are all a huge question mark. Therefore, Melton's market conditions are not ideal, and he has not completed signing with any team so far. For Melton, the most important thing now is to find a team that can provide him with stable playing time. It seems that the Lakers need more of an excellent defender like Melton, and the team also hopes to supplement the competitiveness of the second team. In contrast, maybe the Lakers are a more ideal place to go than the Warriors?
