Former Warriors guard Leandro Barbosa reportedly agrees to join Suns

Published Jul. 7, 2016 12:26 a.m. ET

The Golden State Warriors continue to lose pieces from their record-setting team. This time it's guard Leandro Barbosa who's heading elsewhere, agreeing to a two-year, $8 million deal with the Phoenix Suns, according to The Vertical.

The Warriors have had to either trade, renounce or let go of a majority of their roster, which won a record 73 games last season, to make room for Kevin Durant. Barbosa came off the bench the past two seasons with the Warriors, helping to ignite an offense that averaged nearly 115 points a game.
