Warriors secure a valuable replacement for Klay Thompson: Immediate reactions and analysis.

Just minutes after confirmation that Klay Thompson intends to sign a three-year, $50 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors have gone about adding his replacement in their own free agency move.

The Warriors have reportedly signed former Philadelphia 76ers guard De’Anthony Melton to a one-year, $12.8 million contract, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania on Monday.

The Warriors used their full non-taxpayer mid-level exception on the 26-year-old, only made available after they waived Chris Paul’s non-guaranteed $30 million contract on Sunday.
