OAKLAND (KRON)--According to reports, the Golden State Warriors may be close to announcing a deal to move the team to San Francisco.

 

Citing anonymous sources, ESPN reports that San Francisco mayor Ed Lee sent a letter earlier this month saying the city would work with with the team's executives to bring the Warriors to San Francisco in time for the 2017-2018 season.
