After a career season with the Los Angeles Lakers, shooting guard Nick Young elected to sign a one-year, $5.2 million deal with the Golden State Warriors. Young officially opting out of his contract was a pretty clear indication to the Lakers that he was pursuing other options on the market. Likewise, Kyle Kuzma getting the no. 0 jersey was a sign to Young that they were moving on as well.
Young’s official choice to join the Warriors came as a bit of a surprise as the 2016-17 NBA champions added another deadly shooter to the roster.
