The new NBA season is just around the corner and the major teams are adding names to their rosters. One of these franchises is the Golden State Warriors, who have signed a new teammate for Stephen Curry ahead of the new campaign.
Curry has made it clear on more than one occasion that the team needs an upgrade, and after the departure of star Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors are in need of fresh faces. In anticipation of a market-breaking addition, the front office has begun to move.
The Warriorsâ latest addition is none other than Kevin Knox, who will join Golden State on a one-year deal. The idea is that the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft will try to compete for a roster spot during training camp.
Knox played his first three professional seasons with the New York Knicks before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks. His stints with NBA franchises have included the Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons. Now he has the chance to join a top team.
