Warriors predicted to sign $305M future Hall of Famer, 6x All-Star over Heat, Nuggets, Cavaliers
The Golden State Warriors still have roster spots available. It looks like they are trying to add a big named free agent over some contending teams.
Golden State Warriors are set to sign future Hall of Famer DeMar DeRozan, a 6x All-Star guard, for a staggering $305 million contract over the next few years. DeRozan, who is a free agent after being waived by the Sacramento Kings, is looking to join a championship-contending team after missing the playoffs in recent seasons. Multiple contenders, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, and Miami Heat, are actively pursuing the veteran guard.
However, ESPN's Shams Charania believes the Golden State Warriors are the team most likely to sign him. DeRozan, who averaged 18.4 points and 4.1 assists per game with the Sacramento Kings last season, would provide the Warriors with a proven offensive weapon who can create his own shot and alleviate pressure on their other scorers.
With Jimmy Butler recovering from a knee injury, DeRozan would also give the Warriors an additional starter during this critical period.
