Young goes from Lakers to champion Warriors

Free-agent guard Nick Young has agreed on a one-year, $5.2 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, his agent Mark Bartelstein told ESPN.

For the defending NBA champions, Young, 32, is a coup of a signing. The Warriors used their full taxpayer mid-level exception to acquire him.

Young had a revival season for the Los Angeles Lakers on both sides of the ball last season and comes to Golden State to play a pivotal role on the Warriors bench.

Golden State has gained two bench commitments in the past 48 hours -- forward Omri Casspi and Young -- who further solidify already the NBA's most talented team.
