Kyle Anderson and De’Anthony Melton represent two-thirds of Golden State’s biggest offseason additions.
De’Anthony Melton speaks during a press conference at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, July 8, 2024. The Warriors have signed Melton in free agency. SAN FRANCISCO — Two of the three biggest Warriors’ offseason additions arrived at Chase Center and took the podium Monday, introducing themselves as official new members of the organization.
They make up two-thirds of the Warriors’ substantial acquisitions this summer in which the club turned Thompson and Chris Paul into Anderson, Melton and sharpshooterIn a summer of dramatic change for Golden State, the trio of rotation-ready veterans will be tasked with improving the team in its first season without the championship core of Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond Green since 2011.
“All I can do is go out there and play my game, play hard, and show why other fan bases love me, too. And everything I bring to the table. I love to win, I love my ability to figure out ways to win, and I think that’s what this organization appreciates the most — figuring out ways to win no matter what.”
Both Melton and Anderson played against the Warriors in the 2022 playoffs when they were with the Grizzlies. Melton spent the intervening two years with the 76ers, while Anderson played for the Timberwolves. This past postseason, Anderson was perhaps Minnesota’s most effective defender against Mavericks star Luka Doncic. He’ll likely draw similar defensive assignments for the Warriors. Alongside Green, Anderson should fortify Golden State’s defense.
“We got home that night, he called me on the phone and we spoke about it like grown men,” Anderson said. “We hashed things out, it was over within 15 minutes of the phone call. We get along, and we got along before that. That happens more than people think or know, ours just happened to be out there during a game. We kind of both embarrassed ourselves and it kind of blew up. But that happens all over the league, it is what it is.
