Nick Young gets one-year deal from champion Warriors
Free-agent guard Nick Young has agreed to a one-year, $5.2 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN.
For the defending NBA champions, Young, 32, is a coup of a signing for the franchise's midlevel exception. Young had a revival season for the Los Angeles Lakers on both sides of the ball last season and comes to Golden State to play a pivotal role on the Warriors' bench.
Young averaged 13.2 points for the Lakers a year ago. His Lakers coach, Luke Walton, is close with the Golden State management and coaches and had been impressed with how Young performed for him a year ago.
Young, a 10-year NBA veteran, played the past four seasons with the Lakers.
