Good luck in Golden State! Hopefully he can stay more healthy for them than he was here.

I was never a fan, but no ill will.

GS overpaid for his services, such as they are. Is he even going to be able to play for them?

You played hard, had a great attitude, could sometimes catch fire from deep, and for some reason always looked like a plumber/HVAC guy from Germantown. I will miss you.

Unfortunately I think he'll be an underappreciated loss. He is a great glue guy to support your stars that can fit into pretty much any lineup and make that lineup better. Would have liked to have him back to start, but seems like we wouldn't have been able to pay him, along with the injury concerns.

One of my favorite players to come through here in the last ten years. Loved his gritty approach to the game. Fearless shooter, an underrated creator, he'll do ok in Golden State.

If he's healthy he's going to kill it with the Warriors.

I like Melt, but we couldn't match that salary and considering the injury risk, I wouldn't want to anyway

He’ll always reminds me of game 6 of the 2023 Celtics series.

If he is healthy, he's a significant loss, but back injuries are incredibly tricky. No way Morey could take the risk at anywhere near that price given the limited resources he has to work with.
