The Golden State Warriors are going to have plenty of teams to contend with when it comes to signing Kelly Oubre Jr. this summer. The young forward has played the best back-to-back seasons of his career and is looking for a big payday.

This is a blessing and a curse for the Dubs, who benefitted from Oubre’s consistent two-way performances but might lose him in the offseason now that other teams are interested as well. It’s expected Oubre is looking for a deal in the range of $20 million per year — a mark that will be difficult for Golden State to match.

If Kelly Oubre Jr. decides to leave the Golden State Warriors this summer, it’s likely one of these teams will become his new home.

The only thing Golden State has going for them is they offer Oubre a chance to compete on a true contender. With Stephen Curry fresh off an MVP caliber season and Klay Thompson gearing for a return, Oubre would be a key cog in a championship machine.

However, these three teams are all worthy of catching Oubre’s interest. Let’s check out the three most likely landing destinations for Oubre if he leaves.
