Keith Smith: If Draymond Green's contract is exactly the same as the option he declined, he'll make $27,678,571 for 26-27. That'll put GSW just over the first apron and about $12.4M under the second apron. That's with three roster spots that must be filled, one of which will reportedly go to De'Anthony Melton.

Bobby Marks: Because this is a one year contract, Green has the right to consent on any trade. Green signing for less would not have opened up more than the $6.1M tax ML. The tax ML is designated to De’Anthony Melton.

Anthony Slater: Warriors always wanted De’Anthony Melton back at a cost-controlled price after he tested his market. Backcourt fit next to Steph Curry, beloved in locker room and he’s always spoken well of training staff.

Yossi Gozlan: De'Anthony Melton likely goes into the Warriors bi-annual exception. He can decline the player option next year and re-sign at fair value by accumulating Early Bird rights. They still preserve their mid-level exception for a potential LeBron James signing.

Shams Charania: Free agent guard De'Anthony Melton has agreed to a two-year, $11 million deal to return to the Golden State Warriors, sources tell ESPN. There is a player option in the season of the deal as well.

Yossi Gozlan: Warriors cap situation after extending Kristaps Porzingis and De'Anthony Melton presumably opting out. The LeBron James-Anthony Davis pipedream is still alive. They would presumably swap Jimmy Butler and picks for Davis. Then they could fit James with $15 million non-taxpayer mid-level under the first apron hard cap IF Draymond Green takes the same contract as Porzingis, and IF they also find a taker for Moses Moody.

Veteran center Al Horford has a $5.9 million player option with a June 29 deadline. That outcome remains to be determined, league sources said. Veteran guard De'Anthony Melton has a $3.4 million player option and the recent expectation is that Melton will test his free agency market, which is expected to include the Warriors, depending on the price.

ESPN

Over the last six weeks of the regular season, though, Melton was up and down. He had some solid offensive nights, but in other games, he would fail to make an impact and continued to struggle finishing at the rim. While the Warriors have interest in a Melton return, according to a team source, much like Porziņģis, it will be interesting to see where — and how much — the other offers come from.
