SAN FRANCISCO — On Wednesday, with all the hullabaloo swirling over a Warriors’ part-owner shoving Toronto’s Kyle Lowry on the sidelines at Oracle Arena, Golden State executive Rick Welts was across the Bay Bridge, conducting his final tour of the franchise’s pride and joy — Chase Arena.
It is a $1.4 billion sparkling, shining beacon by San Francisco’s Mission Bay that could still sway free agent Kevin Durant to stick around a little longer.
Welts estimated he’s led more than 100 of these tours – with players like Stephen Curry and Durant, to media, corporate sponsors, community Leaders and staffers.
