The Warriors have waived forward Elias Ralph after signing him to an Exhibit 10 deal last week. He's expected to join the Santa Cruz Warriors for the G League season, the usual path for that type of contract.
Golden State signed guard Nick Boyd and forward Elias Ralph to non-guaranteed training camp contracts, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. Boyd went undrafted after a big final season at Wisconsin, averaging 20.7 points and 4.3 assists, and had agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Warriors back in June.
ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel says a rival Western Conference executive views Kristaps Porzingis as Golden State's top trade candidate this season. Porzingis carries a $20 million salary with only $3 million guaranteed beyond this year, effectively an expiring deal useful for matching money.
De'Anthony Melton re-signed with Golden State on a two-year, $12.3 million contract. NBA.com's Jeff Zillgitt named it one of the offseason's ten best under-the-radar moves, pointing to Melton's career-high 12.3 points per game last season.
