The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors will face each other four times in the 2019 preseason, and Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade doesn't understand it.

Wade says four times is way too much for a preseason schedule.

The Warriors and Lakers are in the same division. However, it's weird to see them squaring off four times during the preseason. After all, the exhibition series isn't that popular to begin with.

You're going to be seeing Wade on Twitter a lot more next season. The future Hall of Famer retired from the NBA this season after a decorated playing career. Wade, though, probably won't be tuning into the four matchups between the Lakers and Warriors during the preseason.

The Warriors will be playing in their new shiny arena next season, the Chase Center. Whether Kevin Durant will be with Golden State remains to be seen. KD becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer once he declines his 2019-20 player option with the Warriors. The two-time Finals MVP has been linked to signing with the New York Knicks. There's still a chance, though, Durant could sign another one-plus-one deal with the Warriors so he can play in the Chase Center for at least one season.
