The Golden State Warriors have re-signed guard De'Anthony Melton to a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option in the second season, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Per cap analyst Yossi Gozlan, the Warriors likely used the bi-annual exception to sign Melton. They can still use the entire non-taxpayer mid-level exception of $15 million on LeBron James. The move hard-caps the Warriors at the $209 million first apron. Using any part of the NTMLE would have done that anyway, so the Melton deal doesn't add any restrictions for the Warriors' James push. But it does make fitting James' contract and Draymond Green's new contract under the apron more challenging. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
