Warriors Rumors: Grading Free Agency Signings, Plus Boogie Cousins Return To Warriors? |
|
NBA Free Agency has been non-stop for the past 4 days & the Golden State Warriors have made a handful of free agency moves this NBA offseason. The Warriors biggest free agency move was re-signing Klay Thompson to a 5-yr, $190 MM contract extension. Thompson tore his ACL in the 2019 NBA Finals & is expected to miss at least 5-7 months, but it was critical to keep Klay Thompson paired with Steph Curry to have the best shooting duo in the NBA.
Golden State also traded for D’Angelo Russell this summer, while Kevin Durant left the Warriors to sign with the Nets. D’Angelo Russell signed a 4-yr, $117 MM deal, but there are NBA rumors circulating around the league that the Warriors could trade Russell in the future. Some other Warriors roster moves include re-signing Kevon Looney & bringing in new players such as Glenn Robinson III & Willie Cauley-Stein. In other Warriors rumors & news, DeMarcus Cousins reportedly does not have a free agent market & will not receive a contract offer for the amount that he was hoping for. Boogie Cousins will most likely have to settle for a contract below the mid-level exception. In that case, could the Warriors bring back DeMarcus Cousins next season? Will DeMarcus Cousins get lucky & land a deal between $12 MM - $20 MM per year?
