The Golden State Warriors could still have another move left this off-season, with reports linking the team to former first-round pick, Dalen Terry, after his release from the Philadelphia 76ers.
Terry became available after Philadelphia waived him to create roster space following the additions of LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Golden State has taken a different approach this off-season.
Rather than making major signings, the Warriors have focused on adding depth while working within limited financial flexibility.
The team recently re-signed Gary Payton II to a one-year, three point nine million dollar off-contract, continuing a trend of bringing back familiar players who already know the Warriors system.
Golden State has retained several experienced players, including Draymond Green, Kristaps Porziis, Al Horford, and De'Anthony Melton, as the organization looks to improve after missing the playoffs last season.
Even with those moves completed, the Warriors still have open roster spots to fill before the new campaign begins.
That has fueled speculation surrounding Dalen Terry.
Reports suggest the twenty-four-year-old wing could be an intriguing option because of his size, athleticism, and defensive potential.
Standing six feet six, Terry is still considered a young player with room to develop if given the right opportunity.
Although he has already earned around fifteen million dollars during his NBA career, Terry now finds himself searching for a new team after Philadelphia moved in a different direction.
For Golden State, signing a young player with something to prove could be a low-risk addition while strengthening the team's overall depth.
At this point, no deal has been announced, and the Warriors have not confirmed any plans to sign Terry.
However, reports indicate he remains one of the names being connected to Golden State as the franchise continues evaluating options to complete its roster before training camp.
With several roster spots still available, the Warriors may not be done making moves, and Dalen Terry is reportedly among the players to watch as the off-season continues.
