Warriors Reportedly Ink Biedrins To Multi-Year Deal
After days of speculation that he was heading over to the Euro-Leagues, the Golden State Warriors have reportedly signed another of their restricted free agents. “ESPN.com” reported Sunday that according to their sources the Golden State Warriors have agreed to a multi-year contract with center Andris Biedrins. The deal according to the reports is a six year pact worth $63 million. Biedrins who just completed his fourth year in the Association was being courted by Euro-League teams to play for them. The center who was taken with the number 11 pick by Golden State in the 2004 NBA Draft had his most productive campaign in the season that recently ended. The native of Riga, Latvia averaged 10.5 points, 9.8 rebounds per contest.

I think that this was a really important move for the warriors to make. With Baron Davis out of the equation, their big three becomes ellis, jackson, and biedrins. I dont know where they would end up this season without him.
