To bring in Anderson, the Warriors will use their recently acquired traded player exception they received in Thompson’s sign-and-trade with the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyle Anderson to the Warriors on a three-year, $27 million contract, sources confirm (ESPN first). The third year of the deal is non-guaranteed. He fits into the just created Klay Thompson TPE and is essentially the return for Thompson’s departure.
