Adande reported Thursday.</p> <p>Golden State offered Turiaf a four-year, $17 million contract offer, which would have boosted Los Angeles' payroll past the luxury tax.</p> <p>Turiaf averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 78 games with the Western Conference champions last year, starting 21 games. The three-year veteran also blocks shots and plays strong low-post defense, two of Golden State's biggest problem areas.</p> </blockquote> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I' m still curious what Pree was hinting at now that it's pretty much a done deal with Turiaf.&nbsp; Sorry if this was a late post...</p>
