The Golden States Warriors continue to make changes ahead of the 2023-24 regular season, this time adding veteran big man Dario Saric into the fold. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Saric will join the Warriors one a one-year deal. This gives Golden State not only a bit of depth in the frontcourt, but a new shooting threat as well.
Saric missed the entire ’21-22 season while recovering from a torn ACL. Since then, he’s provided valuable support and spot stars with the Phoenix Suns and later the Oklahoma City Warriors. Importantly, even with limited minutes, Saric shot 39% from 3 last year and 51.5% from the field overall. As such, he can give head coach Steve Kerr another option in creating lineups that prioritize spacing and offense.

Newly minted Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has had a busy summer. Golden State has been able to preserve its core players, and instead have tinkered on the margins. Adding veterans like Saric and Chris Paul is a conservative way to support the Warriors in gearing up for another deep postseason run.
