Turiaf Agrees To 4-Year, $17M Deal With Warriors

OAKLAND (CBS 5 / AP) ― The Golden State Warriors have reportedly agreed to a four-year, $17 million contract offer with free agent Ronny Turiaf.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise newspaper reported on Wednesday that the 25-year-old Turiaf planned to leave the Los Angeles Lakers.

Because Turiaf is a restricted free agent, the Lakers would have a week to match Golden State's offer and keep Turiaf. The offer is reported to be worth $4.2 million a season.

Turiaf averaged 18 minutes and 6.6 points per game with the Lakers last season.

Turiaf's agent, Mark Bartelstein, would not confirm or deny the offer. 

"We've talked to a bunch of teams," Bartelstein told the newspaper.

"There are a lot of teams that are interested in Ronny. We'll just wait to see what happens," the agent said.

A star player at Gonzaga college, Turiaf had a rocky start to his professional career, as the French native had to undergo open-heart surgery in July 2005 after a physical exam found an enlarged aortic root.
