The Golden State Warriors continue to reorganize their line-up for the 2008-09 campaign by taking away erstwhile LA Lakers 6-9 power forward Ronny Turiaf. The Warriors signed Turiaf to a 4-year $ 17M offer sheet which the Lakers decided not to match.
Turiaf, a French national, played a vital role in the Lakers surge to the NBA finals this past season. He started 21 games last season and averaged 6.6 ppg and 3.9 rpg in 78 games during the regular season. Turiaf will be a big help on the frontline spot for the bay area outfit. His high octane kind of game shall jive easily with the free wheeling style of coach Don Nelson.
With Turiaf's arrival, the starting spot for the power forward position now becomes a wide-open race along with regulars Al Harrington, Brandan Wright and rookie draftee Anthony Randolph. The addition of Turiaf had also made the Warriors frontline a deeper one.
Its only July and we had already seen dramatic changes transpired in the Warriors team. Chris Mullin and the entire Warriors organization are just proving that there is life after all in the post-Baron Davis era!
