After a two-month stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder last season, veteran forward Dario Saric has found a new home.
Saric agreed to a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. He was one of the most sought-after free agents in recent days.
The 29-year-old started last season with the Phoenix Suns before he was traded to the Thunder at the trade deadline as a way to shed salary. In 20 games with the Thunder, Saric averaged 7.4 points on 51.5% shooting and 3.3 rebounds. He shot 39.1% from 3 on 2.3 attempts.
In his exit interview, Saric declared his interest in returning to the Thunder and spoke highly of their young core. Considering OKC is facing a roster crunch with a number of young players and veterans on bloated salaries, it was hard to envision Saric being brought back.
Instead, he goes to the Warriors and will provide quality backup wing minutes as he bolsters their depth.
