## Resource

The Warriors narrowly missed out on Ben Simmons, who signed with the Kings for a modest one-year deal — a move that may have actually been a blessing in disguise. After splurging $27.7M on Draymond Green, they were left with veteran minimum contracts, leading them to bring in low-risk players like Georges Niang, Brandon Williams, and Dalen Terry. While Simmons offered tantalizing upside, his injury history and inconsistent availability make him too risky for Golden State’s current needs — especially as training camp looms. Missing him might just be the smartest move they made this offseason. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
