Late Tuesday night, ESPN reported that the Warriors now plan to sign Matt Barnes into their 15th roster spot, not Jose Calderon. According to ESPN, the Warriors will still make good on their agreement to sign Calderon, but will then waive him to make room for Barnes.
Barnes confirmed the impending signing on Instagram on Tuesday night, saying in part: “Next to the birth of my children this is the happiest day of my life!! Coming back to where it all started!
