The Ticket 760 Sport’s Don Harris has confirmed that Speedy Claxton has agreed to terms with the Golden State Warriors.

Speedy’s agent Bill Duffy has confirmed that his client and Golden State have agreed on the terms – but have not released that information yet.

Claxton, whose stock rose substantially in the NBA Finals, will reportedly make in the neighborhood of ten million dollars over three years.

The Warriors were in need of a quality point guard after the Washington Wizards signed Gilbert Arenas, one of the most sought-after free agents in the NBA. Arenas will leave the Warriors to sign a six-year offer for more than $60 million.

Arenas, 21, is a restricted free agent, meaning the Warriors have 15 days to match the offer. But the Warriors are over the salary cap and only have their mid-level exception of approximately $4.9 million to offer as a starting salary.
