He started in 70 games for Golden State and averaged just over 18 minutes per contest. Despite the low playing time, Pachulia was effective in those minutes, shooting 53 percent from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, Pachulia will provide a solid presence in the paint. He can play in an uptempo offense, as he showed last season with the Warriors. Known for his selflessness on the court, Pachulia will look to continue to be a solid defensive player who can, at times, contribute offensively. The Warriors will need Pachulia to continue to do the little things in order to compete for a championship in the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n<p>Pachulia is going into his 14th season in the league, during which he\u2019ll be 34 years old. Besides Golden State, he has spent time with the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, and Dallas Mavericks, including eight seasons in Atlanta. The Magic selected Pachulia in the second round of the 2003 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the LWOS 2017 NBA Free Agency Tracker for all of your NBA free agency coverage, and be sure to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/LastWordHoops?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow @LastWordHoops<\/a> on Twitter to stay up-to-date with the latest NBA news.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/695375786\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/695375786?et=EwcrV5XRTxJQrMzcqxSSnQ&amp;tld=ca&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=tiY_py7anXhqTb8WkrXsPN8aKIRl1XAJcaRwFIw1MnE=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports, veteran center Zaza Pachulia re-signs with the Golden State Warriors on a one-year, $3.5 million contract. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1916,"featured_media":7961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,62,3],"tags":[65,182,96,297,202,1095],"class_list":["post-7927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-warriors","category-nba","category-news","tag-basketball","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-nba","tag-nba-free-agency","tag-nba-news","tag-zaza-pachulia"],"modified_by":"Lior Kozai (Managing Editor)","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
