It has been a silent summer for the Warriors so far and Dub Nation is starting to get worried. While teams are busy stacking up their roster, Mike Dunleavy is yet to pull off his first free agent signing. But that doesn’t mean the GM does not have his eyes set on some potential targets. As Bradley Beal nears his contract buyout with the Suns, there are rising speculations of him joining forces with Stephen Curry.

In the usual scenario, it would have been nearly impossible for the Warriors to add Beal because of the two years $111 million left on his deal. But Suns’ waive-and-stretch buyout would allow Dunleavy the unique opportunity to sign the veteran guard at a much lower price, hardly affecting the team’s cap space. Per veteran insider Brett Siegel, “As far as Beal, if he wants a minimum and wants to go play with Steph, Golden State would do it.”

Even Marc Stein confirmed that Warriors “still have interest” in Bradley. So, there is a decent chance that he starts next season in the Bay Area. However, there is one major hurdle. “The sense around the league is still that Beal will end up with Clippers.” Siegel remarked. Yes, ever since Paul George’s departure, Steve Ballmer has also been in constant search of a star to pair alongside Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Beal could be that guy.

Moreover, Ballmer has already added Brook Lopez and John Collins, strengthening the team’s depth. It could be added motivation for Beal to sign with the Clippers. Meanwhile, Timberwolves and Bucks are also being considered as potential landing spots for the three-time All-Star. At a minimum deal, there is no better player in the league than Beal, who averaged 17 points and nearly four assists last season. That explains why teams are lining up to acquire him, which has made Dunleavy’s pursuit difficult. However, there is still hope of achieving the dream scenario.

Warriors’ dream scenario emerges as veteran insider confirms two free agents’ future

While the Beal domino is yet to fall, Dunleavy also has two other free agents on his radar. Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton. At this point, its no secret that the GM wants Horford in his team. Soon after free agency began, reports emerged that the Celtics big man was their “top target” and many believed it was a done deal. But what followed was radio silence by both parties as Horford reportedly began contemplating his retirement over joining the Warriors.

Amid this dilemma, reports emerged that Dunleavy is also looking to bring back De’Anthony Melton in free agency. Of course, Melton played six games for the Warriors last year, but his season was cut short due to an unfortunate ACL injury. Despite him averaging 10.3 points in his limited appearances, the GM was left with no option but to trade him. But Melton was reportedly beloved in the Warriors locker room and people within the organization did not want to see him leave. That explains why there is a buzz about his return.

Per Stein, “My expectation is that one way or the other, the Warriors are going to end up with both Horford and Melton on their roster.” If they add both Horford and Melton, while also somehow pulling off the Beal acquisition, Siegel claims it would be a dream scenario for the Bay Area franchise. With Steph, Jimmy, and Draymond as their core, these key additions massively boost their chance of title contention. And that’s what Dub Nation has been hoping for all summer. Do you think Dunleavy can pull it off?
