Former Laker Nick Young agrees to a contract with the Golden State Warriors

Swaggy P is going to Oakland.

That’s where the Golden State Warriors play — and that’s where Nick Young will play after agreeing to a one-year, $5.2-million deal with the reigning NBA champions.

Young’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN of the deal Wednesday and confirmed it to the Associated Press.

Last month, Young declined his player option with the Lakers, leaving behind the $5.7 million he would have been paid to spend a fourth season with the franchise.

“At my age, I don’t know if I kind of want to sit around and wait for another team to progress and grow,” Young said in April.
