De'Anthony Melton Contract & Salary

De'Anthony Melton is on the books for $6,064,000 in 2026-27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Golden State Warriors roster and 2.7% of the team's $220.8M payroll.

That ranks 230th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 3.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $12,431,200 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $6,064,000 in the first year up to $6,367,200 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 28, this contract runs through his age-29 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is the 8th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Golden State Warriors' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $220,838,432.

Golden State Warriors sit at $220.8M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$12.3M of room below the first apron.
