The Golden State Warriors made a minor trade at the Feb. 8 deadline. They sent Cory Joseph to the Indiana Pacers in return for a second-round draft pick. They now have two open roster spots. As such, there is an expectation that the front office will be busy in the buyout market, where they could look to add a veteran talent while also converting a two-way contract to round out the rotation.
An important thing to note is the Warriors are a second-apron team. That means they’re limited to signing players who were earning less than the non-taxpayer mid-level exception before being bought out. As such, that would rule out talents such as Spencer Dinwiddie, who was earning $18.8 million before being brought out by the Toronto Raptors.
Nevertheless, there are some valuable talents shaking loose after a flurry of trade moves around the NBA. Here are three potential buyout targets the Warriors could show interest in ahead of the March 1 deadline.
