With the loss of several players to the bench, the Warriors were still looking for ways to strengthen themselves from the start of free agency. The franchise has just made a nice move, with the signing of a fairly popular veteran, who will fill the multiple departures of the summer. A good deal for the front office.
Defending champions, the Warriors lost a lot of elements during the start of this offseason. This is the case among the players, but also in the staff. Gary Payton II is gone, just like Leandro Barbosa, or Otto Porter Jr. It’s not ideal for Steve Kerr’s men, but we can say that it was expected with a payroll that continues to burst the ceiling. Fortunately, there is always room for improvement.
The Dubs remain a popular destination, thanks in part to their chance to win a new title. With a Steph Curry in shape, the veterans always want to land there for the possibility of winning a championship. This is the case for a fairly popular veteran of the market, who has just reached an agreement with the Thunder to become a free agent.
Big move and big deal for the Warriors
Here we are talking about JaMychal Green, who landed at the Thunder a few weeks ago after a trade from the Nuggets. There was no doubt that the interior was going to be cut, but to sign where? You got it, and according to Shams Charania, the player has decided to strengthen the defending champions for the new campaign. A reinforcement of weight, which makes it possible to compensate for departures.
Forward JaMychal Green is finalizing a contract buyout with the Oklahoma City Thunder and plans to sign with the Golden State Warriors after he clears waivers, his agent Michael Hodges told @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Winger JaMychal Green is finalizing his buyout with the Thunder and plans to sign a contract with the Warriors once on the market.
As Anthony Slater reminds us, this is the perfect reinforcement for the Warriors, and which will compensate for the departure of Porter Jr:

A stretch at position 4 that will slide to the vacant position of Porter / Bjelica, as an interior capable of dismissing the game in certain lineups.
A new reinforcement for the Warriors, which will largely compensate for the departures of the summer within the franchise. Be careful though, it’s not over yet for the Dubs, who will be looking for other veterans to fill this roster. A good surprise is never far away.
