The Golden State Warriors will be playing in the Chase Center next season, and center Andrew Bogut admits he is going to miss Oracle Arena.
Bogut, who signed with the Warriors in March, first played for Golden State from 2012 until 2016. The Dubs traded the big man to the Dallas Mavericks in the summer of 2016 to clear cap space to sign superstar small forward Kevin Durant.
The former No. 1 overall pick revealed what Oracle Arena means to him on Monday while speaking to reporters.

Oracle Arena is probably the loudest arena in the NBA. Opponents hate playing against the Warriors at their house.
It's probably going to be the same thing when The Chase Center opens up. Hopefully for Dubs fans, Andrew Bogut will get to play in it with the Warriors, as he will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Bogut was part of the Golden State team which defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals. The fans were sad to see him go in 2016, but now they have the best of both worlds: Durant and Bogut on the team together.
Barring something crazy happening in the playoffs, Golden State is going to win the title again. It would be their fourth title in five years.
