Broderick Turner of the Press-Enterprise is reporting that Ronny Turiaf has agreed to a four year, $17 million offer sheet from the Golden State Warriors. As Turiaf is a restricted free agent, assuming he does in fact accept the deal the Lakers would have seven days to match. I've always been terrible at estimating how much a guy will get on the open market, especially a player like Turiaf...
