Warriors finalize 15-man roster with Niang signing

The Golden State Warriors completed their 2026-27 roster by signing veteran forward Georges Niang to a one-year deal, joining Brandon Williams to round out the squad. Niang, who missed all of last season with a fractured foot, brings floor-spacing and shooting to Steve Kerr’s lineup, a welcome addition as Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are out for at least the opening months rehabbing injuries. The move helps balance a roster that now features more size and shooting ahead of training camp.

Cavs' Shrewd Trades and Free Agency Targets: Boosting Shooting and Retaining Key Players

The Cleveland Cavaliers have made a shrewd trade to address their need for outside shooting by acquiring Max Strus and Georges Niang. In the deal, the Cavs sent Cedi Osman, Lamar Stevens, and draft picks to San Antonio and Miami. Strus, a 6-foot-5 small forward, brings playoff experience and a gritty defensive mindset from his time with the Miami Heat. Niang, a 6-foot-7 forward, is known for his shooting prowess, particularly from beyond the arc.
