After inking Draymond Green to a new four-year, $100 million contract and trading for Chris Paul, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the Golden State Warriors have been quiet throughout the first wave of free agency.
Following the addition of veteran point guard Cory Joseph, the Warriors reportedly made their second signing of the offseason. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Warriors are signing veteran big man Dario Saric.
The 6-foot-10 forward brings much-needed size to the Warriors’ frontcourt that previously didn’t feature a player over 6-foot-9. Saric also brings experience along with the ability to space the floor with his proven ability to shoot the long ball.
In his sixth season in the league, Saric averaged 6.4 points on 45.8% shooting from the field and 39.1% shooting from beyond the arc with 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.1 minutes over 57 games with the Suns and Thunder.
Saric also previously spent time playing alongside the Warriors’ new acquisition Chris Paul while they were teammates in Phoenix for the last two and a half seasons.
Following Saric landing in the Bay Area, NBA Twitter chimed in with different reactions on Saturday morning. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying about the signing.
