The defending champions could be getting a whole lot swaggier.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports on Sunday that veteran swingman Nick Young is a “serious candidate” to be signed for part of the Golden State Warriors’ $5.2 million exception.
A serious candidate for a portion of Golden State's $5.2M exception, per ESPN sources: Free agent guard Nick Young.

The 32-year-old Young averaged 13.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game for the Los Angeles Lakers last season. He recently declined his player option for the 2017-18 season, becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Young’s court jester reputation does often precede him, but his knack for threes and instant offense may be a good fit for a Warriors bench that surprisingly lacks a true go-to scorer.
