The Golden State Warriors chose not to give Dalen Terry a standard contract, and now they are facing the consquences.

The Oklahoma City Thunder gave Terry a two-year standard contract on Tuesday, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

Terry spent training camp and preseason with the Warriors. The only game Terry got a lot of playing time in preseason, he went off. He had 23 points, nine assists, eight rebounds and four steals in 43 minutes against the Trail Blazers.

Terry was not eligible for a two-way contract. His only shot at a standard contract with the Warriors was them making a trade to open a roster spot or releasing Brandon Williams (who at the time had a non-guaranteed contract).

The Warriors did neither, which meant Terry was expected to play out this season with the Santa Cruz Warriors if he couldn't land a standard contract from an NBA team.

The Thunder have been ravaged by injuries this season. They had an open roster spot, and it comes as no surprise they'd use it on Terry, a 6'6" wing who spent the last four seasons in the NBA.
