What happened
The Warriors have agreed to a five-year extension with Brandin Podziemski, their starting shooting guard, in a reported $110 million deal. ESPN's Shams Charania relayed the news on Saturday, and Golden State confirmed the new contract to USA TODAY Sports.
The rookie-scale extension is fully guaranteed, includes a mutual option in year five and a trade kicker, and it is set to begin next season. Podziemski is entering the final year of his rookie contract after three NBA seasons with Golden State.
This secures one of Golden State's younger rotation pieces before opening night and removes an upcoming contract question. His extension does not change this preseason's lineup, but it clarifies the team's longer-term guard picture.
