MARCH 17: The Warriors have officially converted Lamb’s two-way deal to a standard NBA contract, the team announced today in a press release (Twitter link). The club also formally confirmed its two-way contract agreement with Quinones (Twitter link).
MARCH 16: The Warriors are making moves with an eye toward the impending 2023 postseason. First, Golden State is upgrading the contract of current two-way swingman Anthony Lamb, according to Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Lamb is being added onto the team’s 15-man standard roster, which will make him eligible to partake in playoff (and, if necessary, play-in) contests for the club, Charania and Slater note.
With their newly available two-way roster slot, the Warriors will sign guard Lester Quinones, Charania reports (via Twitter).
Quinones went undrafted out of Memphis in 2022, and joined the Warriors’ Santa Cruz NBAGL affiliate at the start of the 2022/23 season. He signed with Golden State on a 10-day deal earlier this month.
Lamb, a 6’6″ small forward, has been active for 50 games with the Warriors, the maximum permitted for two-way players before their contracts need to be converted. Across 20.1 MPG, he has averaging 7.0 PPG on .475/.379/.773 shooting splits. The University of Vermont product is also chipping in 3.4 RPG and 1.7 APG, having emerged as a key bench piece for Golden State.
Upon Lamb’s promotion, the Warriors will have a full 15-man standard roster, so if they want to make two-way player Ty Jerome playoff-eligible in the coming weeks too, they’d have to waive someone in order to make room for him.
“Warriors To Promote Anthony Lamb, Add Lester Quiones On Two-Way Deal”
Whoa.. a player name typo in an article title is not good!
And it’s not ruining anyone’s life is it? Does it make you tingly discovering that?
More smalls when we needed a tall.
17 Roster spots and not 1 invested in a traditional 7 Foot center.
Was hoping for some depth piece behind Looney ( Dwight, Boogie, Hassan, Tristan ).
It’s a huge risk hoping Looney stays healthy again all the way through the Playoffs. Not much behind him if he were too get injured.
All the players you keep mentioning are not in the league for a reason.
@Giants
Hilarious! And Accurate!
Loon is a iron man!!! He will be all good.. it’s his mins off the floor.. then the biggest guy is 6’9… all bigs have been dominating Warriors!! Let just hope draymond can stay healthy and on the court
Looney hasn’t missed a game in two seasons and he’s a huge injury risk?
If he played 30 plus mins a game I would agree.. but No this man only averages a career high of 23mins a game!!!
And it’s about time they upgrade lamb!! Been saying it for weeks
Well deserved!
they missed his rebounding. They had to bring him back just for a body that rebounds.
Lamb is a multi year deal with team option or just end of season?
Oh my God. They didn’t do everything on your time line. The world revolves around you. Everything has to be done to make you happy.
Wiggs!!! We need you!! Come back and take it out on your opponent and score 30 a game!! With Dennis Rodman defense!!!
All three warriors named above suck
As do Warriors culture
better than playing bully ball to win. Reason Grizzlies will NEVER be champs.
At the very least, there is zero chance they win a championship with someone like Brooks on the roster. They need to move on from him when they get a chance to.
Happy for him but it’s over
It’s weird that Warriors has Kuminga, Moody, PBJ and still add depth in front court. If they believe Iggy can’t comeback at time, just waive him and sign Ty! They have NO real PG on bench at all!!
