Warriors sign Brandon Williams with Stephen Curry's assistance

Summary

The Golden State Warriors announced the signing of guard Brandon Williams on August 25, marking their first addition of the offseason after a quiet period. Williams joins alongside forward Georges Niang, which follows the team's unsuccessful attempt to recruit LeBron James. Stephen Curry played a significant role in bringing Williams to the Warriors, having set up a recruitment call earlier this summer. Following a season where he averaged 13.0 points and 3.9 assists with the Mavericks, Williams is expected to provide valuable depth as a backup guard for the Warriors next season.
