Warriors are expected to sign two key free agents, while still interested in the former All-Star defender

According to Gautam Varyl, a contributor to US sports media F/W. The Warriors are the only NBA team that hasn't yet moved as a free agent in 2025, but that may change soon. NBA insider Mark Stein said on Tuesday's Willard & Dibs show that he expected the Warriors to sign Horford and Melton, adding that they are still interested in Bill. “My expectations are that the Warriors will have Horford and Melton on the roster anyway,” Stan said. "And they are still interested in Bill." The Horford legend has been in a longer career than anyone expected. The Warriors had hoped the veteran would sign with them more than a week ago, but he didn't. Teams such as the Lakers, Bucks and Hawks have also shown interest in Horford, and retirement is still considered a possibility for him. Now it looks like Horford will be a Warrior again. The 39-year-old will be a reliable addition. Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game for the Boston Celtics in 2024-25. The five-time All-Star is no longer a former player, but he still has a positive impact whenever he steps on the court.

Speaking of having a positive impact, that's what Melton did for the Warriors in the 2024-25 season. The 27-year-old averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks last season, but tore his ACL after only six appearances and was later traded to the Brooklyn Nets. The injury this time was a big blow to the Warriors, and they could never completely replace Melton. It will be interesting to see if the 3D defender can replicate his performance last season after an injury.

Although Horford and Melton are free agents, Bill has not yet entered the free market. The Suns and the three-time All-Stars have not yet reached an agreement on a buyout, but it is expected to reach an agreement sooner or later. Bill averaged 17.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game for the Suns in 2024-25. The 32-year-old can bring sparks to the Warriors on the bench, and they can certainly take advantage of that.

While Horford, Melton and Bill would be good additions, two of the three are in their 30s. There have been rumors that the Warriors are too old to win the championship, and this statement will not disappear with these acquisitions. Curry was asked about that little chat recently and received a strong response. “We’ve heard of it even before the 22 Year Championship,” Curry said. "We heard it, so it all comes down to health. I mean, if you look at each team, the Thunder are relatively healthy. That's what you need. Like, healthy spend a regular season. Try to be in a position we don't lose in the game."

Curry suffered a hamstring injury in the semifinal against the Timberwolves last season, which resulted in the Warriors being eliminated in five games. You want to know how different their playoff results would be if there were no injuries. Curry believes the Warriors have another title fight and if they are relatively healthy they should make some sensation next season. Will they win everything? This seems unlikely, what do you think?
