Kuminga signs a two-year, $48.5M deal with the Warriors, year two a team option, after the Kings and Suns chased a sign-and-trade involving Malik Monk and a first-round pick. Horford joins Golden State as the roster takes shape ahead of the Oct. 21 opener vs. the Lakers. Kuminga's 15.3 PPG/4.6 RPG last season and 16.1/4.8/2.2 in 2023-24 hint at a rising ceiling with deeper supporting cast around Curry and Green.

The new depth—Melton, Seth Curry, and Gary Payton II—gives Golden State floor-spacers and defensive versatility, while Kuminga stands to gain from improved spacing and veteran leadership. Fantasy managers should watch for sustained minutes, role clarity, and health as the Warriors push for a higher ceiling this season.

Payton II and Melton re-signed with Golden State, joining Horford on a multi-year deal; Kuminga’s restricted free-agent status keeps the offseason in limbo. Training camp starts Sept 29 as the roster takes shape.

If Melton is healthy, he could join Curry in the starting backcourt, altering fantasy math. Payton II’s role remains a 3-and-D glue guy whose minutes hinge on Kuminga’s status and Kerr’s early rotation tests. Horford adds veteran depth and spacing, while Kuminga’s fate will largely set the near-term ceiling for the Warriors’ fantasy upside.
