The Golden State Warriors wrapped up the second day of NBA free agency signing in Kevon Looney with a three-year $15 million deal on July 1. Looney is worth the deal given his contributions during the NBA Finals in the previous season. The Golden State Warriors is now left with just $12 million to complete its lineup after D'Angelo Russell inked a $117 million four-year deal with the team. Here are some of the NBA free agents that the Warriors could still acquire given their budget.

The Golden State Warriors is now left with just $12 million to complete its lineup after D'Angelo Russell inked a $117 million four-year deal with the team. Here are some of the NBA free agents that the Warriors could still acquire given their budget.
Zaza Pachulia
While some fans might not be happy at the idea but Zaza Pachulia is a good fit in the Golden State Warrior's roster. He was there helping the team win back to back championships while commencing 127 games in his two-year basketball stint. Unlike other free agents, the 35-year-old player can flawlessly fit in the Warrior's system
Kosta Koufos
Koufos only played 42 games for the Sacramento Kings in the previous NBA season. However, he is a positive force in the locker room of the Kings. He is a formidable big man in the court who could easily fill in Warrior's lacking defense. Currently, the Warriors only have Alen Smailagic, and Damian Jones as their big men and the 30-year-old player could definitely mentor the team's frontcourt core while offering quality minutes given the right price.
Tyson Chandler
The seasoned center helped the LA Lakers bolster their defense when he inked with his hometown in the middle of the NBA season. Now 36 years old, opted against the GSW after the Suns waived him several months ago. He would be an interesting addition to the GSW's young frontcourt core.
Nenê
This seven-foot Brazilian player refused the $3.9 million player option offer of Houston Rockets last Sunday making himself, a 17-year seasoned big man, a free agent. He averages 2.9 rebounds and 3.6 points for every game as a backup player during the past season of the NBA.
Greg Monroe
The 29-year-old player used to be a dominant force in the Detroit Pistons. But, he displayed signs of promise in the past NBA season. He averages 4.3 rebounds 13.7 points and shoots 65.2 percent from the field. He played ten playoff games for the Philadelphia 76ers during the last three regular NBA season. With the Golden State Warriors' backcourt in control of the scoring burden, Monroe's shooting prowess could be very useful, and his seasoned assistance could be an interesting presence in the team.
