Warriors Re-Sign Melton for $11 Million and Horford for $14 Million on 2-Year Deals

Summary
$25 million in combined commitments brings De’Anthony Melton and Al Horford back to Golden State on separate two-year contracts, reinforcing the Warriors’ plan to keep most of last season’s core intact.
Mike Dunleavy had signaled in May that the roster did not need major surgery, and these deals use up money that likely rules out pursuing other notable role players such as Anfernee Simons or Rui Hachimura.
Golden State’s payroll now sits around $175.2 million for 10 players, a structure that preserves access to the non-taxpayer midlevel exception but still excludes Draymond Green and any potential LeBron James deal.
That cap setup leaves the Warriors waiting on LeBron’s decision while still needing a high-minute forward during Butler’s ACL recovery, plus a third center and third point guard.
