Golden State Warriors Sign Jermaine O’Neal and Toney Douglas


Free agent big man Jermaine O’Neal and guard Toney Douglas both inked one-year deals, as the Golden State Warriors continue their summer shopping spree. Per the Contra Costa Times: “Douglas gives the Warriors a veteran guard off the bench who is known for defending. He can also shoot the 3 pretty well. He’s not a traditional point guard, which Golden State seems to need, but he is someone who will be able to defend and make a play. O’Neal, entering his 18th season, showed he still has something left in the tank last season for Phoenix. He averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 18.7 minutes off the bench. The 6-foot-11, 34-year-old center figures to be a reliable place holder to back up Andrew Bogut while Festus Ezeli recovers from knee surgery.”
