Turiaf Is Officialy a Warrior After Lakers Don’t Match Offer

The “San Francisco Chronicle” reported Friday night that former Los Angeles Lakers center Ronny Turiaf is now officially a member of the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers had until Friday night to match an offer sheet that Turiaf had signed with the Warriors last week. There really was little doubt, that L.A. would match the offer, the team is already over the cap. The Warriors also front loaded the deal to make it that much more difficult for Los Angeles to match the deal. Turiaf was a second round pick by the Lakers in the 2005 NBA Draft. He has just completed his third season in the Association, and have averaged 5.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists per game so far in his career.
