After getting Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors have took a bit of a hit to their depth. They’ve lost Andrew Bogut, Harrison Barnes, Brandon Rush and now Leandro Barbosa.
Free agent Leandro Barbosa has agreed to a two-year, $8M deal with the Suns, league source tells @TheVertical.

Losing Barnes doesn’t matter since Durant is a million times better and Rush wasn’t in the normal rotation. However, the Warriors may miss Bogut’s rebounding and interior defense, while Barbosa’s ability to bring solace to the second unit will be missed.
At the same time, Golden State still has Shaun Livingston to help relieve Steph Curry, but it leaves no room for injury now.
