Young guard Brandin Podziemski still has dreams of becoming a star at the Golden State Warriors, but the hopes of that actually happening may be crushed by the expected arrival of former guard De'Anthony Melton in free agency.
While Jonathan Kuminga's free agency continues to loom over the offseason and is stalling other potential moves, there is an expectation that both Melton and fellow veteran Al Horford will sign once the future of the young forward is resolved.

Melton is coming off an ACL injury sustained in just his sixth game for the Warriors last season, but he could still prove one of the steals of the offseason if he does sign a minimum contract and can return fully healthy.
