Casspi, the 23rd pick in the 2009 draft, has eight years of NBA experience, which means his veteran minimum deal will pay him about $2.1 million.

Omri Casspi signed with the Warriors on a one-year deal for the minimum, per sources. Great fit for GSW who still can use their taxpayer MLE

Casspi's best season came in 2015-16 with the Kings, when he averaged 11.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, while shooting 48 percent from the field and 41 percent from distance.

He is primarily a small forward, but could play power forward if Golden State elects to go small.
