Live on August 16th: According to previous reports, the Warriors have reached verbal signing intentions with players like霍福德 and 梅尔顿, but the official signing will wait until the renewal of 库明加 is resolved. Due to the lack of progress in 库明加的 renewal, the signing of free agents has also been held up.
Today, the ESPN Warriors participated in ESPN’s “NBA Today” program to discuss the current attitudes of霍福德 and 梅尔顿.
He said, “Actually, we’ve been discussing those names for the past six to seven weeks. If霍福德 can be signed, he will become the starting center of the Warriors. Anthony 梅尔顿 is also a player they are optimistic about. Seth Curry and their second-round pick Will Richardson, who I originally expected to be on the team’s roster. There’s also Gary Payton II. But like you just mentioned, these operations are all waiting for the outcome of 库明加’s situation.”
However, according to what I know, they are aware of the current situation, understand its complexity, and are not concerned about this stagnation because the training camp is still a while away.
But I have to say, in August, everyone can still easily say “we’ll handle your business when we have time”. However, by September, the whole situation will start to become a bit tricky. At that time, I’m not sure if there will be progress in negotiations, or if the Warriors or 库明加 will become more anxious, but September may be a more difficult time to control the situation.”
