    A day after making the biggest possible splash of free agency by reaching a contract agreement with seven-time All-Star Kevin Durant, the Warriors on Tuesday continued trying to make waves by canvassing the market for minimum-contract bargains.

    They reached an agreement on a one-year, minimum deal with big man David West. The 6-foot-9, 250-pounder, who turns 36 next month, is a two-time All-Star, and he passed on a $12.2 million option with Indiana last season to chase a title with San Antonio.

    Considering all goes as planned with Durant and center Zaza Pachulia, who agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million deal, when the NBA moratorium ends Thursday, the Warriors will have 11 players locked up and will have to fill out the final three or four roster spots with minimum contracts.

    Those in the running may be conveniently separated into three categories: veterans, returners and summer-league players.
