The Warriors are reportedly working out multiple veteran free agents before training camp.

With the offseason winding down and training camp quickly approaching, the Golden State Warriors are still keeping an eye on different free-agent options to fill their roster. 

According to Anthony Slater and Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Warriors are bringing in four different veterans for a workout before training camp. Golden State is bringing in four notable players with NBA experience, Ben McLemore, Elfrid Payton, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Kenneth Faried.
