The Golden State Warriors just keep loading up. On Tuesday afternoon, they added a couple more players that can contribute right away — if needed.
According to ESPNNewYork.com’s Jared Zwerling, the Warriors agreed in principle to a deal with free-agent point guard Toney Douglas.
"“Terms of Douglas’ contract weren’t immediately known.”“He was traded by the Houston Rockets to the Sacramento Kings in February in a six-player trade that sent 2012 No. 5 overall pick Thomas Robinson to Houston.”"
Golden State also added veteran power forward Jermaine O’Neal to their squad, ESPN’s Marc Stein reports.
One-year deal for O'Neal w/Golden State, helping Dubs fortify front line that has also added Marreese Speights to Bogut (and injured Ezeli)
