The next NBA team to move could be the Golden State Warriors. But it doesn't sound like they'll go very far.
ESPN's Ric Bucher is reporting that the Warriors are close to a deal to relocate to San Francisco, possibly to a new waterfront arena.
The move would be a return home, of sorts. The franchise was known as the San Francisco Warriors from 1962 - when they moved to the Bay Area from their original home in Philadelphia - until 1971, when they took on the non-specific "Golden State" nickname and began playing most of their home games in Oakland.
It is not known whether a name change would be part of the move.
Oakland officials are reportedly "committed" to keeping the Warriors on their side of the Bay Bridge.
