The Warriors are continuing to hold workouts with veteran NBA players as they look to fill out their roster, writes Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
In addition to Kent Bazemore and Juan Toscano-Anderson, who were previously identified as working out for the team, Scotto names Dewayne Dedmon, Will Barton, Jaylen Nowell, Stanley Johnson and Derrick Favors as others who have been given tryouts.
Scotto notes that three of those players have previous experience with the organization. Bazemore signed with Golden State for the 2020/21 season, Toscano-Anderson was part of the 2021/22 title team, and Dedmon played four games for the Warriors during his rookie season.
Barton also has an upcoming workout with the Pelicans, sources tell Scotto. He was a starter with the Nuggets for several seasons, but saw his role diminish last year after being traded to the Wizards and then joining the Raptors as a free agent.
Favors recently worked out for the Trail Blazers, Scotto adds. The 32-year-old big man didn’t appear in any games last season, although he signed a 10-day contract with the Hawks in January.
Nowell averaged a career-high 10.8 PPG for the Timberwolves last season, but he hasn’t found a new team, even though Minnesota was believed to be open to a sign-and-trade deal. A report this summer indicated that the Mavericks had interest in Nowell, but nothing came of it.
Johnson, who has been with five teams over the past four years, averaged 5.8 PPG while shooting 45% from three-point range in 30 games with the Spurs last season.
Golden State has 13 players with guaranteed contracts and is expected to fill one of its two roster openings before the start of the season. The Warriors also have one two-way slot filled and commitments for three Exhibit 10 deals, so they can sign four more players before training camp opens.
Dedmon can hit the triple
Dedmon stinks
Dwayne “I never should have gotten in a fight with Spoelstra” Dedmon.
Like Keith Bogans I am a good player Brad Stevens. Thanks alot
Only in 2019
Dunleavy and FO sleeping on bringing in guy’s tht could help! Missed a few this off season. So sign Queta or Noel and let’s move on!
Not tht hard
I think Queta and then Yuri Collins
Queta would be perfect
Noel …..
Should have signed Wood, Dunleavy is garbage. Christian Wood was hungry to prove everyone wrong
Hey, I liked Wood as well they slept on bringing him in, thts wht I was saying earlier. Could have got Reddish as well. They need to make a move, we need someone to contend with the bigger bodies in the playoffs!
