It s a foregone conclusion! Will the Warriors sign back two veterans who played for the team last season?

According to ESPN authoritative journalist Shams Charania, backcourt players Gary Payton II and De 'Anthony Melton, who were previously in free agency, have promised to join the Golden State Warriors. Although the details of the contract have not been disclosed, these two contracts have been basically widely reported before. These two signings have not been completed so far, and the renewal of the team's contract with Jonathan Kuminga, who is still in a restricted free agent state, is still at a stalemate. The Warriors have no way to sign the two players immediately.

Peton was born in December 1992 and is 32 years old, 199cm tall and weighs 88kg. He was the undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Payton Jr. made a total of 62 appearances for the Warriors in 82 games, averaging 15 minutes per game, with averaging 6.5 points, 3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.3 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 57.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 71.1%. In the playoffs, Payton Jr. made a total of 11 appearances, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, with averaging 4.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals, 0.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 44.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%.

Melton was born in May 1998 and is 27 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Phoenix Suns in the 2018 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Melton played 6 times in total for the Warriors, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.1%, and free throw shooting percentage was 62.5%. Melton joined the Warriors during the offseason last season, but he suffered a torn ACL shortly after the start of the season, which directly led to the season's reimbursement. He was then sent to the Brooklyn Nets by the team.

Peton Jr. and Melton are both experienced and capable backcourt players, and they have also performed quite well in the NBA. If they get a basic salary contract from the Warriors, this can be considered a very ideal signing. It's just another question, we don't know when the deadlock of Kumingga can be cracked, and when the signing of these two players will be truly completed. Of course, it has to be said that these two veterans are still very patient. After waiting for so long, they did not waver their determination to join the Warriors, which also shows that they have a very certain attitude towards joining the Warriors. I don’t know what performance they will perform in the NBA field in the new season.
