Warriors sign swingman Rodney Carney

It's been rather quiet in Warriorland which is probably a good thing, for the Warriors.  The only real news is that Stephen Curry has been playing with Team USA and appears to be doing well.

But, who knows--no one appears to be watching.

The silence has stopped.  The Warriors have announced that they have signed for 76er, Rodney Carney, to a contract.  Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.

Here's the press release:

The Golden State Warriors have signed free agent guard/forward Rodney Carney to a contract, the team announced today. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.

Carney, 26, appeared in 68 games for the Philadelphia 76ers last season, averaging 4.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per contest, while shooting 40.1% (113-282 FG) from the field, 30.4% (41-135 3FG) from three-point range and 82.5% (52-63 FT) from the free throw line. He tallied a season-high 16 points in 20 minutes at Golden State on February 23.

Originally selected by the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft (#16 overall) out of the University of Memphis, Carney was traded to Philadelphia in a draft night deal and has spent three of his four NBA campaigns with the 76ers. Overall, he owns career averages of 6.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 272 regular-season games with Philadelphia and Minnesota.

Carney will wear uniform #25. 

The signing of Carney leaves the Warriors with about one more roster spot available and according to a source close to Matt Steinmetz of CSNBayArea.com that spot could go to center Louis Amundson.

The Warriors have also shown interest in guard Jannero Pargo for their backup PG spot and it was reported that Pargo and the Warriors agreed on a deal, but that deal never came to fruition.
