NBA: Niang Signs With Golden State

[SC Cy]

Boom!

 

[DesMoinesCy]

Boom!

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and especially Kevin Durant better watch out. They are going to quickly see their playing time cut.

 

[oldman]

Good for him. I knew some team would see his worth.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Can you imagine having Durant start at the top of the key 8-9 times in the first quarter and drive to the hoop, and then having Niang start the second quarter at the top of the key driving to the hoop?

Essentially breaking the opponents ankles by how much of a change in speed they're going to be seeing.

Offensively I think Georges would work in that system in small minutes.
I don't love being behind Draymond, West, Livingston, KD.

McAdoo hasn't done a ton in the NBA, maybe he can snag his roster spot.

Good for Niang

Those guys will not be with the Warriors their entire careers. Not with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson pulling down max contracts.

Good team for Georges to be with, they will handle him better than Indiana did.

 

[jbindm]

Good for him. The Pacers were stupid to not even give him an extended look.

Durant last summer, Niang this summer, maybe George next summer, what a run.

So is this officially a two way contract? I know they signed Boucher from Oregon to one spot but they should have another open. Or maybe he's playing for that spot in camp?

Played one year in the league, now wants that ring

If it's partially guaranteed I would assume it would be the two way

I actually don't think it is a two way contract. Most of those have been announced when the signed and none of the articles have mentioned it. It's not uncommon for guys to get partially guaranteed deals to get them into training camp and to entice them to play for their D-League teams. The Warriors do still have an open two way deal so he's probably playing for that in training camp.

They do have an open two way? I believe you just haven't seen anything.

It's partial guarantee so it's like a camp invite and spot on g league team most likely

Right, that's what it sounds like.

you're saying Niang is the change-up pitch specialist?
