Warriors new progress in signings: Fighting for Lillard and the latter may sign a basic salary. Unintentional Kuzma expects to sign Horford

On July 9, are the Warriors finally going to take action? It is revealed that Lillard may join the championship team with a minimum salary, and the Warriors Celtics rank among the top on the list of favorites; in addition, the Warriors are expected to sign Horford and sign Melton back, the Warriors have no intention of Kuzma, and the Bucks need to make their first round and star to impress the Warriors to trade Kumingga.

According to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, after being cut by the Bucks, Lillard and his team have negotiated with several teams that are competitive in the playoffs. The Heat have always been linked with Lillard, and the Celtics and Warriors are also at the forefront of Lillard's consideration of the roster. Since Lillard did not give up any salary when he bought out with the Bucks, he believes that Lillard is willing to join a championship team with a minimum salary.

Lillard has a good relationship with Tatum, and Boston is still one of Lillard's first choice next homes; Lillard has always been interested in the Warriors, and he has a good relationship with Curry, Dream Chasing and Butler. When Lillard asked the Trail Blazers to leave the team in 2023, he wanted to play with Butler.

Regarding the Warriors' pursuit of Horford, Brett Siegel reported that the outside world generally expects the Warriors to reach an agreement with Horford after solving the problem of Cumingga. After the Lakers signed Ayton, they basically withdrew from the battle for Horford. The Nuggets currently have no plan to buy out Valanciunas, but instead ask Valan to fulfill the contract. If the final negotiations lead to Valanciunas's departure from the NBA, the Nuggets will pursue Horford.

Evan Sidery reported that the Bucks have explored the plan to get Kuminga by signing first and then trading, but the Warriors are not very interested in Kuzma, so the Bucks need to send out their first round pick in 2031 and a potential star to arouse the Warriors' interest.

At present, Kumingga's market trading is in a state of stagnation.

According to previous reports, the Warriors asked Kuminga for a young star and a first-round pick, and had rejected the King's offer; due to no progress in the transaction, the Warriors will meet with Kuminga. Warriors reporter Anthony Slater reported that Kuminga is expected to return to the Warriors and may wait until mid-December to trade him. Marc Stein, a famous reporter from

, reported that the Warriors have become a strong contender for free agent Melton, and the Warriors have also shown strong interest in signing Horford.

Melton played for the Warriors last season, but only played 6 games and was reimbursed for the season due to injury, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

What kind of operations can the Warriors complete in the free market? Let's wait and see.
