The Golden State Warriors finalized their 15-man roster by signing Brandon Williams and Georges Niang to one-year contracts. Williams, a former Dallas Mavericks guard, is known for his explosive play as a backup point guard, while Niang, previously with the Utah Jazz, is a skilled stretch-four with a 39.9% career three-point shooting average. Reports indicate that both contracts include options for the team; Niang's deal is partially guaranteed at $1.84 million of his $3.88 million salary, and Williams' deal is non-guaranteed, allowing him to earn up to $2.63 million if he makes the opening night roster. The moves come as the Warriors look to solidify their lineup ahead of the upcoming season.
