In losing small forward Klay Thompson of Los Angeles, California earlier this week in a three-way trade with the Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Hornets, the Golden State Warriors signed two free agent guards this week. On Monday, the Warriors came to terms with shooting guard De’Anthony Melton of Los Angeles, California. Then on Friday, the Warriors signed shooting guard Buddy Hield of Freeport, Bahamas. Melton signed a one-year deal worth $12.8 million, and Hield signed a two-year contract worth $21 million according to Rogers Sportsnet.

Melton is joining his fourth National Basketball Association franchise. He previously played one season with the Phoenix Suns in 2018-19, three seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies from 2019 to 2022, and the last two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers.
