The Golden State Warriors are a "strong contender" to bring back De'Anthony Melton in free agency despite the Los Angeles Lakers' reported interest in the veteran guard, NBA insider Marc Stein reported on Tuesday.

Evan Sidery of Forbes has reported that Horford will make a decision between Golden State and the Nuggets. He also noted that the Warriors are the current favorite for the veteran big man, but that Denver would become a more interesting option if Jonas Valanciunas works his way to Europe.
