Kelly Oubre Jr. will play the 2020-21 NBA season for the Golden State Warriors. The DubNation would be excited to see what he brings to the floor. Oubre himself is excited to join the franchise as he recently took shots at his former team, Phoenix Suns.

Oubre featured in the 95.7 The Game radio show, where he expressed his discontent with the Suns. “I can play for an owner – somebody who actually cares about the organization and not just the perception of the organization on the media end of it.

“It’s all about the foundation for me. If you have a beautiful foundation, you can build a beautiful future as Golden State has done.”

The last few seasons have been polar opposites for the two franchises. The Warriors have seen monumental success while the Suns have been stuck at the bottom of the barrel.

In fact, many believe that their owner Robert Sarver is to blame for the unsuccessful years. Regardless of the previous seasons, the Suns have a legitimate chance to make it to the Playoffs this year.

They have 2 young stars in Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton to lead the time. While Chris Paul will provide the much needed veteran leadership for the team.

They have the talents to make it to the NBA Playoffs, to say the least. Devin Booker had an incredible run in the NBA Bubble, where he led the team to a perfect 8-0 record. Unfortunately, it was not enough to clinch a playoff berth in the stacked Western Conference.
