BREAKING: Warriors Moving to SF in 2017
According to @GSWFastBreak, the Warriors have finalized plans to move from Oakland to San Francisco in 2017. The move would provide the Warriors with a brand new, modern, multi-use arena on Pier 30/32 that would be utilized not only for basketball but other various events. The privately funded arena — assuming all goes smoothly — would cut the tape before the 2017-2018 season.
The move to San Francisco shouldn’t be a surprise as owner Joe Lacob has made it clear of his plans for a move since his ownership began. Oracle Arena is currently the oldest arena in the NBA — it first opened in 1966 — and while renovations took place before the 1996-1997 season, the rust was clearly showing.
While many Warriors fans have fond memories of the arena, the move to San Francisco should be met with open arms. The move not only provides fans with a new arena, but gives potential free agents, players and coaches added incentive to come to the organization. Whether admitted or not, San Francisco is simply a sexier destination than Oakland.
Time and time again the Warriors have lost out on free agents, and while Oakland might not be the sole reason of players hesitance towards committing to sign, it surely didn’t help the cause.
The Warriors will now have a new home in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, awarding fans for their constant loyalty that has been apparent throughout their stay in Oakland.
An official announcement is expected next week.

Just like the Nets. Different city, same ty. See what I did there?
Great news.
I'll miss Oracle though. Great place to see a game.
Why are you a bolded Warriors fan yet you don't have your team's colors? Weird.Great news.

Spurs are my first team. Warriors second.
now there's a backup plan you never have to use
amirite?
sons what they are basically doing is getting away from the black folk and heading closer to the money in that area. can't blame em
Oakland = 30% black
San Francisco = 6% black (85% white and Asian)
Okland
So will there be more of this when the team is playing in SF?
^ Let's just say Richard Jefferson hopes to retire a Warrior.
Oakland is lucky to have the A's and Raiders too. It's a hole of a city and all the opposing teams stay in SF when they're in town because it's a hole.
Give SF the Warriors and give the Raiders to LA. If they can't build a new stadium for the A's then they should move too.
Oakland and their des ute fan base.

Their name could be the same.Golden State Warriors.
I find annoying the move of franchises and change of their names in the professional leagues. They should stop it. If you want the change of city then the franchise should disappear and let's gonna create a new one.
Guess that's why people love the college teams like we love professional teams in Europe.They are the teams of your city forever
You can't love the same a team that could be elsewhere in the future. You can't have a great fanbase. It's not a surprise what happens in Charlotte or New Jersey.
Teams like Knicks,Celtics,Lakers or Spurs will likely to stay forever so they have true fans. But there are a few exceptions
Driving across the bay takes half an hour and an hour in heavy traffic.
Free agents didn't sign because SF was a half hour drive? Please.
Either way, the bay area is a great place to live, visit, vacation,etc.
too bad RJ will be gone by then...
New $1 billion arena will be right on the bay. Pretty sweet.
A billion for an Arena? What what??
That new arena will be conveniently placed for some NBA players
Jailed NBA players could now play against the Warriors...only a boat ride away.
Which is exactly what I meant
Not so subtle LeVenti
Real estate property values. Probably would cost $300 million to build that exact same building in Memphis or Oklahoma City.
so when the earthquake hits it'll submerge like a submarine
Makes sense... 300k houses are a mill' here...
