The Warriors are reportedly re-signing center Kristaps Porziņģis. ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported Monday that Porziņģis, who has played for six teams in 10 seasons, will re-sign with the Warriors on a two-year deal worth $40 million. Additional reporting indicates that the second year of the contract is a player option.
