The Golden State Warriors have quickly pivoted following the reported departure of All-Star Klay Thompson.Read more: Klay Thompson to Join West Rival Following Multi-Team Sign-and-TradeAccording to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Warriors are signing veteran guard De'Anthony Melton to a one-year deal worth $12.8 million.Melton, 26, has spent six seasons in the NBA across the Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, and, most recently, the Philadelphia 76ers. He averaged 11.1 points, 3.
However, he plays great defense and can shoot the ball, which should be a solid fit in Golden State in what will likely be an off-the-bench role.The Warriors, Mavericks, and Charlotte Hornets are also continuing to work out deals in the sign-and-trade for Thompson. Those are the three teams reported to be in on the trade for now, but there could be additional teams. Nonetheless, the Warriors will get something back in that trade for losing Thompson.
