The Golden State Warriors have signed free agent guard Alec Burks to a contract, the team announced today.
The Thunder reached agreements with Muscala and Burks to open free agency last week, but after George’s stunning trade to the Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City granted both players the opportunity to re-evaluate their options, league sources told ESPN. Muscala will remain with the Thunder while Burks is signing with a different team, league sources said.
The Thunder were prepared to honor the commitments on the agreements while also allowing the players to reconsider their situations. With George traded, the Thunder are changing course, focusing on rebuilding with draft assets and young players. They traded Jerami Grant to the Denver Nuggets on Monday, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, collecting their sixth first-round draft pick in the past three days.
Brett Dawson: Per a league source, the Thunder still expected last week to be building around Westbrook and George. Evidence to that effect: Free agent commitments from Mike Muscala and Alec Burk aren’t really rebuilding moves.
