OAKLAND — Briante Weber finished up the Warriors’ Saturday night game against the Nets and was then informed of his release. The Warriors are going elsewhere with that 15th roster spot.
That elsewhere is expected to be veteran guard Jose Calderon, according to a team source. Calderon must first officially come to terms on a buyout and release from the Lakers, which is expected to happen in the coming days. But his partnership with the Warriors is already in motion.
Steve Kerr announced Weber’s release in his postgame press conference, saying he informed Weber moments earlier. Kerr confirmed that the team would soon sign a guard to fill his role, but wouldn’t get into specifics since it wasn’t technically finalized.
