The Golden State Warriors have agreed with forward Dario Saric on a veteran minimum contract, according to reports. That checks off a prioritized box for general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. in his first foray into NBA free agency leading the Warriors’ front office.
Saric, 29, is a 6-foot-10 stretch forward who fits perfectly in head coach Steve Kerr’s scheme. In his 10-year career, Saric has proven to be a big that can move the ball in a motion offense and pose a legitimate threat as a 3-point shooter.
There were rumors that Saric had his eye on joining the Miami Heat should they land Damian Lillard in a trade, but his seamless fit with Golden State is likely a reason why Saric agreed to terms on a veteran minimum — which should slot him in at approximately $2.7 million for the season.
