On October 2, the Golden State Warriors officially announced that they would sign Horford for two years 12 million. Horford's second year is the player option, and the first year is a contract of 5.7 million. He also revealed in an interview that he never thought of really retiring.

Seth Curry's jersey number is No. 31. According to the report of the Ming Ji Stein, Curry did not really sign a contract with the Warriors. He signed an E9 contract with the Warriors. He will follow the Warriors in the entire training camp. Then the Warriors will cut him after the start of the game. The Warriors can sign him again on November 16, because at this time his salary is already 2.3 million lower than the veteran's basic salary. Currently, the Warriors only have 2 million left. This is a way to avoid the second rich line.

Melton signed a two-year contract with the Warriors, which occupied the Warriors' 3.08 million salary cap in the first year because he underwent ACL repair surgery in December last year, and now he has just passed the 10-month rest period. The team will let him fully recover and make his debut, which means he will miss the game at the beginning of the season. He is the Warriors No. 8. After the Warriors completed this '15+3' roster, there were 7 defenders in the team's lineup: Curry 1.91 meters, Curry 1.88 meters, Pojmsky 1.93 meters, Payton 1.91 meters, Hilde 1.93 meters, and Moody 1.96 meters. None of these seven defenders are more than 1.98 meters tall, which is the short lineup that Cole likes.

In addition, the Warriors are also the five-time old lineup: Curry is 37 years old, Butler is 36 years old, Zhu Meng is 35 years old, Horford is 39 years old, and Hilder is 33 years old. These five people are 180 years old, with an average age of 35.8 years old. Even if Kuminga can start afterwards, the Warriors will be the oldest team with the average age.

Warriors officially announced that a two-year contract renewal of Kumingga was 48.5 million. His contract was the team option in the second year, and he gave up the veto of the deal. The Warriors will immediately put him on the shelves on January 16. One of the major reasons why the Warriors renewed his contract is for the sake of the transaction, that is, it will be on the shelves 106 days later.
