It was a pretty quiet Tuesday in the NBA's free-agency period, with talk of possible amnesties , mulled offers and a lockdown wing moving West earning more attention than potential free-agent agreements. ("Agreements," but not completed deals — we again remind you that no contracts can be made official until after the July 10 end of the league's annual moratorium on trades and signings.) A couple of teams did do yeomen's work in filling out their rosters on Tuesday, though, so let's take a look at their locker-room additions: *** • The Golden State Warriors agreed to terms on a three-year deal with free-agent big man Marreese Speights, according to Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Marc J. Spears . ESPN.com's Marc Stein first reported the two sides were closing in on a deal. Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports reported that the Warriors hold a team option on Year 3. The financial terms of the deal remain unclear. According to Marcus Thompson II of the Bay Area News Group , Golden State's options for adding Speights include working sign-and-trade deals as part of Jarrett Jack's move to the Cleveland Cavaliers (with whom he will sign this week for a reported four years and $25 million ) or in exchange some chunk/combination of the several trade exceptions the Dubs have accumulated in deals that shipped out Jeremy Tyler, Malcolm Lee, Brandon Rush and Richard Jefferson. They could also sign the 6-foot-10, 250-pound forward/center outright using their non-taxpayer midlevel exception, starting at $5.15 million next season; doing so would put him on the books for about $16 million over the course of the deal.
