Warriors predicted to pursue 6’4” former Rookie of the Year guard in free agency

The Golden State Warriors are seeking veteran players to bolster their roster, focusing on smaller free agent moves rather than major signings. Beyond previously linked players Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton, the team has also shown interest in Malcolm Brogdon, Trey Lyles, and Gary Payton II, with Seth Curry and Ben Simmons emerging as additional potential targets during Summer League discussions.

A potential signing of Malcolm Brogdon is highlighted as a particularly beneficial move for the Warriors. They require additional ball-handlers, and Brogdon would serve as a solid backup point guard for Stephen Curry. Last season with the Washington Wizards, he averaged 12.7 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game, though his season was limited to just 24 appearances.

Given Brogdon's significant injury history – playing over 65 games only once since his rookie year – a deal would realistically only make sense at the veteran minimum salary, as his reliability is questionable. However, if healthy, he fits well within the Warriors' system. The team has a recent track record of helping injury-prone players like Otto Porter Jr. and Donte DiVincenzo bounce back, suggesting Brogdon could become a valuable signing under similar circumstances.
