They haven\u2019t made a single free agency signing. Time is ticking and many players are getting signed to rival teams. The Warriors lost a fan favorite in Kevon Looney to the New Orleans Pelicans. Now a young player with lots of potential is headed out the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1948004377454674335\" rel=\"nofollow\">Shams Charania reported<\/a> on the recent Warriors free agency loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFree agent guard Lindy Waters III has agreed to a one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs, agents Shy Saee and Winston Nelson of Klutch Sports tell ESPN. Waters has shot 37% from 3 in his first four NBA seasons in Oklahoma City, Golden State and Detroit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Lindy Waters III wasn\u2019t a huge part of the Warriors roster last season, he still contributed meaningfully at times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Waters particularly was helpful as a sharpshooter off the bench. He averaged 5.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists last season. He only averaged 17.2 minutes a game in 38 contests for the Warriors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Waters hasn\u2019t been able to find consistent rotation minutes yet in the NBA. He played a support role for the Oklahoma City Thunder and then barely played for the Detroit Pistons before coming to Golden State.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sn-now.com\/WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At 27 years old, it is unclear how much improvement Waters will make in his career. Still, he was a decent shooter who the Warriors probably could have retained for a very cheap price. The Warriors&#8217; free agency moves continue to stay stagnant while other teams pick up what is left.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More NBA:\u00a0<a target=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/ca\/nba\/golden-state-warriors\/news\/warriors-gp2-part-ways-2nd-best-defender-nba-champion-rival-team\/fa30896d5b3eb61cc51e1e17\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Warriors may part ways with 2nd-best defender, NBA champion to rival team<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors are losing another piece from last season.
