Top 5 Warriors signing candidates: Competing for veteran Horford, with Lillard Bill Melton Brogden

Looking at the problem of insufficient manpower in the Warriors' existing lineup, they need to introduce at least 3 additional personnel, so who should the Warriors introduce? After "no presence" in the free market for many consecutive days, the big fish in the free market are basically gone, and the remaining free agents are Horford, Melton, Brogdon, Lillard, and Bill, who is likely to reach a buyout with the Suns.

Currently, the Warriors are interested in many free agents, such as Horford, 39-year-old Lillard, 34-year-old Brogdon, 32-year-old Melton, etc., and 32-year-old Bill, who is about to buy out and resume his free agent.

However, the Warriors are also facing competitive pressure from multiple teams, Horford is also pursued by the Nuggets and the Lakers, and he still has the option to retire. Lillard is also interested in pursuing many teams, but he is likely not in a hurry to sign a contract. After all, he is now reimbursed due to injury season, so he can recover from injury first and then observe the situation in the league to seek a suitable team. Brogden, 32, and Melton, 27, are also suitors, among which Melton currently seems to be the most promising to return to the Warriors.

As for Bill is now the spokesperson for "high salary and low energy", but once he reaches a buyout with the Suns, he will definitely become a hot commodity, but the Warriors' competitiveness is not high. The Clippers will be Bill's ideal next home, especially after the Clippers traded to send Powell away, the introduction of Bill was just enough to fill the vacancy, and the Clippers' lineup is obviously more competitive in championship competition than the Warriors. It is still unknown which players the Warriors can introduce to enrich the lineup, but it is obvious that the old-fashioned Golden State team is seriously insufficient to attract players. Perhaps their winning window is indeed closed, and Curry and his era will gradually wither.
