Agrees to deal with Golden State
The Warriors quickly pivoted to Melton after Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year contract with the Mavericks, although that deal hasn't been finalized yet. Melton struggled with a lingering back issue last season, but when healthy, he's an elite defender and a capable three-point shooter. In 38 games with the 76ers last season, Melton averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Expected to leave Warriors
The writing has been on the wall for some time, and the Warriors are prepared for this scenario according to Charania. There's been no dialogue between the two sides in regards to a contract and it appears both are ready to move on. Despite his age and recent injury history, Thompson is expected to have a strong market with the Mavericks, Lakers and Clippers all reported to be interested in his services.

Won't play for Canada at Olympics
Per Smith, the Warriors are actively trying to trade Wiggins to clear up cap room, presumably to acquire Paul George, and they don't want Wiggins to get hurt playing in the Olympics. John Hollinger of The Athletic relays there could also be an already existing injury for Wiggins, but nothing has been reported. Wiggins missed 11 games during the 2023-24 season, including back-to-back absences at the beginning of April due to a sprained ankle.
