Willie Cauley-Stein tells 'frickin' crazy' story of how he joined the Warriors

Newly signed Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein had quite the experience during his brief time on the free agent market.

"It was frickin' crazy," Cauley-Stein told NBC Bay Area about his first foray into NBA free agency. "On the first day, I'm waiting on the top tier dudes to go, I picked up fishing, I needed to do something with the time because sitting here waiting was so brutal."

Cauley-Stein said that when the Warriors first tried to call him, they were unable to reach him because he was on a fishing trip "out in the boonies" without cell service.
