As the Golden State Warriors have looked to bolster their roster this offseason, the uncertainty surrounding the Jonathan Kuminga situation has put the organization's pursuit of their primarily rumored free agent targets, Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton, on hold.
Yet, as reported by Jake Fischer on The Stein Line, the Milwaukee Bucks are also in the market for a perimeter defender. While Fischer does not mention Melton by name, it is quite possible that the Bucks, in their hunt for defensive assistance, could poach Melton from the stagnant Warriors.
Therefore, while Golden State may plausibly have handshake deals in place with Melton and Horford, they could be doing damage to themselves the longer they wait to make these deals official.
