Fadeaway pitch sends Anthony Black to Golden State for Melton, picks

Fadeaway World's Eddie Bitar floats a deal sending Orlando's Anthony Black to the Warriors. Golden State would send back De'Anthony Melton along with a 2033 first-round pick and two second-rounders.

The idea leans on Marc Stein's reporting that Black and Orlando haven't made progress on an extension. Black is making $10.1 million in the final year of his rookie deal after averaging 15 points and 3.7 assists last season.
