Three Free Agents That the Warriors Should Sign Using the TMLE

After an eventful start to the NBA free agency, it’s time for the Warriors to make some moves. Myers has $5.9 million through the taxpayer mid-level exception and he needs to use it. Don’t let it go to waste, you have no excuse to do so.

The Warriors need some more veteran leadership through these positions: a play-making guard and a frontcourt depth piece that can stretch the floor. With players like Patty Mills and Nicolas Batum gone, it’s starting to look like slim-pickings but I still see a few available players that would be good fits in the Bay Area.

Stephen Curry agrees to four-year, $215M extension with Warriors

The news broke on Tuesday morning that Golden State Superstar Stephen Curry has agreed to a four-year, $215M contract extension with the Warriors. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweeted the scoop to his nearly five million Twitter followers.

The historic deal makes Curry the first ever player to ink two separate $200M-plus contracts as Woj noted.

Nemanja Bjelica will sign a one-year deal with Golden State on a minimum

Nemanja Bjelica has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors early Tuesday morning according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The 33 year old Serbian power forward played for the Sacramento Kings before he was traded to the Miami Heat at the trade deadline in March. He only played 11 games for Miami with averages of 5ppg on 37 percent shooting from behind the arc in that small samples size.

Preparing for Klay Thompson’s Comeback Season

In one of the deepest NBA drafts in recent memory, one of the least-surprising picks was the Golden State Warriors selecting Moses Moody out of Arkansas at #14. The team was long speculated to be interested in what a win-now two-way guard like Moody could do for them in the short term, and with Chris Duarte from Oregon (another name the Warriors were tied to ahead of the draft) going the pick before to the Indiana Pacers, Moody seemed like an inevitable addition. Moody’s a good two-way player, but he lacks shot creation or playmaking abilities beyond his catch-and-shoot capabilities.
