MARCH 3: The Warriors have officially signed Randle to a 10-day contract, the team announced today in a press release. Golden State now has a full 15-man roster, though three of its players are on 10-day deals and Bender’s will expire tonight.
MARCH 1: Chasson Randle will sign with the Warriors, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN. Randle’s agent, Darrell Comer of YouFirst Sports, confirmed the deal.
Randle made two prior attempts to join the NBA on 10-day contracts, but they were both blocked by Tianjin, his current team in the Chinese Basketball Association. Comer said Randle has reached a settlement with the club and will receive a FIBA letter of clearance as soon as his request can be processed.
The CBA has suspended play because of the coronavirus outbreak in China, affecting the status of roughly 40 American players, including familiar names such as Jeremy Lin, Lance Stephenson and Tyler Hansbrough. Givony adds that if the league does resume, it won’t happen until April, leaving all those players uncertain about their contracts.
Randle last played in the NBA during the 2018/19 season when he averaged 5.5 PPG in 49 games with the Wizards. The 27-year-old guard also had brief stops with the Sixers and Knicks.
Golden State has a roster opening, so no move will be necessary before Randle can be added. The Warriors already have two players on 10-day contracts, Dragan Bender, whose deal runs through Tuesday, and Mychal Mulder, who is signed through Saturday. It’s unclear if Randle will receive a 10-day deal or a rest-of-season commitment now that he’s no longer controlled by Tianjin.
Not Chuh-sawn but CHESS-in!

One of his Rock Island teammates name was Royce Muskeyvalley.
lmao the warriors won an nba game last night with 8 players and 5 players who have been on two-way deals this season – even when tanking they still changing the game, ya love to see it!
The only team changing the game this season is Houston.
Let’s see how many teams follow their model before we say Houston ischanging the game
The Clippers…
They’re not following the rockets lead, tho.
It’s called necessity
Exactly. They have to because the game is changing.
They don’t have to be.
Warriors are still in that shrunken head of yours aren’t they. Fertitta spoke for all Rockets fans when he said they’re obsessed with GSW and beating them. I mean for gods sake their having one of the worst years in history and the dubs are still getting to you huh? You post on every Warrior article. Hope you have that same energy when the Rockets fizzle out, once again come playoff time.
Rockets going to the playoffs, Dubs?
Warriors are not going to the playoffs, Hoops, so I guess the only fans that can comment to your satisfaction are fans of playoff teams.
hate to tell you this but GSW used the small lineup for the last 3 years. It works against some teams but watch when they face a much bigger team.
Correct, especially with iguodala and draymond
Last night in Boston (versus the Rockets) was the first NBA game in over 50 years when neither team used a player over 6-8 in their starting lineup or coming off the bench. Small ball is here to stay people, get used to it.
Uh, arc said 3 years now. Read his post HW
I hope not, if the league is only gonna play dudes of 6-8 or less it will be time to follow another sport, the greatness of basketball is for the giants that dominate the game like Goliaths & the tiny guys who try to every now & then get the best of them.
If all are small guys… what is the point, right?
