Famous reporter: Melton and Payton Jr. will sign a basic salary with the Warriors, Horford pays 5.7 million in taxes

Today, famous reporter Jake Fischer wrote an article about the situation of the Warriors.

Jake Fischer wrote: "Horford, Melton, and Payton Jr. have been waiting patiently this summer. They know that the Warriors have to postpone their signing because they have to deal with the matter of Cuminga.

" Melton and Payton Jr. are expected to sign basic salary contracts. A team that I spoke with this week and also had a roster spot, they had some hope that Horford lost patience while waiting and began to consider other teams’ offers, but I don’t think it’s likely to happen.

"In fact, this team is as pessimistic as I am about Horford's loss of patience, because Horford is expected to receive the Warriors' tax-paying middle class (5.7 million), and perhaps also includes the 26-27 season player option as a reward for maintaining flexibility and patience. It is not clear whether Horford, the 39-year-old veteran, will continue to compete after the end of the new season."
