Saric agreed to a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. He was one of the most sought-after free agents in recent days.

The 29-year-old started last season with the Phoenix Suns before he was traded to the Thunder during the trade deadline as a way to shed salary. In 20 games with the Thunder, Saric averaged 7.4 points on 51.5% shooting and 3.3 rebounds. He also shot 39.1% from 3 on 2.3 attempts.

In his exit interview, Saric stated his interest in returning to the Thunder and spoke highly of their young core. But considering OKC is facing a roster crunch with a plethora of young players and veterans on bloated salaries, it was hard to envision Saric being brought back.

Instead, he goes to the Warriors and will provide them with quality backup wing minutes as he bolsters their depth.
