Biedrins Signs Six-Year Deal

The Warriors completed their mission of retaining their top two young players by reaching an agreement with Andris Biedrins on a six-year, $63 million deal Sunday. The Warriors had signed Monta Ellis, 22, on Thursday to a six-year, $67 million deal, and now they have come to terms with Biedrins, 22, avoiding a negotiations competition with some European clubs that showed interest in the 6-foot-11 center. Biedrins flew to the Bay Area on Sunday night, according to his agent Bill Duffy, and plans to sign the contract today.
