Big issue right now with the Warriors.
They are leaving for the 2018 season.
but Oakland claims they are owed 60 million because they think the lease option to resign till 2027 means they have to pay that...it seems like complete BS out of oakland. The option has to be signed by 2017, which means that its not a contract but an option for a further contract. Stupid. They dont owe them anything.
But the issue is 2018 season is their aim, lease through 2017...seems there may be a possible 1 year of no lease.
Makes me think the Warriors may look to play somewhere else for a year before moving to their new arena..
They have options
I never understood why they didnt move to the Shark Tank. Beter arena. Better city. still in the BAy. That could be a one year option...they did play one year in san jose during the Oracle renovations in the 90s...most likely option.
They could do a year at Cal thats unlikely though.
Now reports they will be considring a name change to San Francisco.. imo that happens. The only reason they are golden state is that they didnt have an arena in San Fran. The name San Francisco carries more weight, its the fanbase they want.
