A lot of Warriors fans are sad to see the team leave Oracle Arena in Oakland for the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Warriors great Tim Hardaway feels the pain of those fans, but he also understands the move.
"I'm sad that they are leaving," Hardaway said Thursday on SportsNet Central: Warriors Edition. "But they are going to a great spot, and it's time for a change."

Hardaway had a unique experience Thursday. He helped the construction crew deliver seats to Chase Center. On Friday, he will help the construction crew install those seats.
He didn't actually get to go inside the Chase Center, but he still has liked what he saw.
"I think it's great. It's awesome," Hardaway said. "I haven't walked in there yet, but the outside is beautiful. Around where they're going to have a lot of food, a lot of place for the people to go and interact and have fun before the game, after the game. It's going to be a great place to have."
At the conclusion of this season, the Warriors will leave the place Hardaway called home for five and a half seasons. They are set to open the Chase Center in the fall of 2019.
