The Warriors are not keen on signing back to Melton, maybe they are interested in Brogdon

Basketball

Previously, according to the report of American journalist Evans, 3D guard Melton was very popular in the free market, and many teams including the Bucks, Clippers, Lakers, and Suns wanted him.

As a former Warriors player, Melton averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists last season, and once helped the Warriors achieve the record of No. 1 in the Western Conference, but later suffered a torn cruciate ligament and was reimbursed for the season.

Previously, the media also reported that Melton and the Warriors were interested in reuniting. Mr. Su Qun, a famous domestic basketball player, also revealed that the Warriors agreed to Melton to let him come back next season.

But now the offseason has come, the Warriors management is not keen on signing back to Melton. Why is that?

Although the Warriors are pursuing space-type inside Horford, it does not mean that the team's back line configuration is already perfect. Although Bojie has grown, his performance on the offensive end is still unstable. The Warriors still need a 3D defender like Melton, so that they can share Curry's pressure and enhance the team's external offense and defense level.

If the management really has no idea to sign a contract with Melton, it is likely that another possibility is to find a replacement for Melton.

According to the report of American journalist Fischer, the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Warriors, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Kings, and Bucks are expected to be interested in Brogdon.

According to sources, his former club Wizards are willing to sign and then exchange, send Brogden to the team he wants to go to.

In this way, the Warriors also have the opportunity to get this 3D defender. After all, the team's current total salary has not yet reached the first luxury line and the second luxury line. You can still use the mini middle class or the full middle class to sign and strengthen.

Brogden played 24 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, shooting percentage of 43.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 28.6%. Compared with the past few seasons, Brogden's combat power on both offense and defense has declined to a certain extent; but he is only 32 years old now, with a height of 1.93 meters, and can be used as a weakened version of Derek White.

If the Warriors can get this 3D defender with a basic salary or a mini middle class, it will be equivalent to having an upgraded version of Melton. The Warriors' potential starting lineup will become Curry, Brogdon, Butler, Green, and Horford.

Whether it is offense or defense, this lineup has almost no shortcomings. The only shortcomings may be that the average age of the players is too old. But if you can stay healthy, you will have a chance to compete for the championship. After all, the average age of the Mavericks in 2011 is not young, and they can still create a great basketball career.

Of course, the Warriors are also interested in another defender, that is Bill. But from the perspective of offense and defense balance, Brogdon is obviously more suitable for the Warriors' tactical system than Bills, after all, the latter's defense is only enough.

As the defender who was selected by the Bucks with the 6th pick in the second round of 2016, Brogdon has become a veteran, and his peak of his career is in the 20-21 seasons. At that time, he played 56 regular season games for the Pacers, averaging 21.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.8%. In fact, fans who often watch Warriors games must remember that Curry plays extremely uncomfortable whenever he competes with Brogdon. This is the defensive deterrence of this 3D defender.

If you have to sign first and then exchange, you can get Brogdon, and based on the current salary situation of the Warriors, the chips you can get may be the defender Boger who is still in the rookie contract.

But if you can really win Brogden, the management is worth a try, and there is not much time left for Curry to win the championship.
