Golden State Warriors sign Niang and Williams amid Curry extension talks

The Golden State Warriors have finalized key roster moves and are preparing for critical contract discussions with superstar Stephen Curry. The team has signed forward Georges Niang to a one-year, $3.9 million contract and guard Brandon Williams to a one-year, $2.6 million deal. Niang, a veteran sharpshooter, provides depth to the wing rotation following a season missed due to a foot injury, while Williams offers additional scoring options in the backcourt.

Niang’s contract is partially guaranteed, with full salary protection contingent on him remaining on the roster through January 7. Williams’ deal is currently non-guaranteed, with a partial guarantee available if he makes the opening night roster. These signings aim to bolster the roster as the team manages injuries to players like Jimmy Butler III.

Separately, Stephen Curry becomes eligible to discuss a maximum contract extension starting August 29. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has expressed confidence in the organization’s goal to have Curry finish his career in the Bay Area. The timing of this potential extension is expected to be a major factor in the franchise’s future financial flexibility and roster construction.
