The Warriors are planning to move to San Francisco for the 2017-18 season, but have no intention to change their name from Golden State.

"It’s going to be the Golden State Warriors," said Joe Lacob. "That’s our name until further notice. And I say until further notice because I’m leaving myself an out because at the end of the day, this comes down to what the fans want.

"It’s not me, it’s not what I want to name it. It’s not what Peter wants to name it. If the fans of the Golden State Warriors overall vote someday that they want to be the San Francisco, then we’d have to consider that.

"But bottom line, it’s the Golden State Warriors and it’s going to remain the Golden State Warriors for the foreseeable future and maybe forever."
