Current Dallas Maverick Harrison Barnes has no love for his former team, the Golden State Warriors.
Barnes was asked if he’ll watch his former teammates at all this year. His answer?
Harrison Barnes said he will pay “zero” attention to Warriors this season.

Yikes.
Barnes’ relationship with his former team isn’t exactly ideal. Barnes was the Warriors’ small forward, starting 59 games for the team that went 73-9, the best record in the history of the NBA.
But Barnes, who entered free agency this offseason, was replaced by Kevin Durant, who signed a two-year, $54,274,505 million deal with Golden State this summer.
Barnes was essentially forced out of the city, signing a four-year, $94.4 million deal with Dallas.
Now, Barnes must watch from afar (or, not watch from afar) as his former team has built one of the greatest starting lineups the NBA has ever seen.
According to Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Warriors have 5-7 odds to win the 2016-17 NBA championship. The Cleveland Cavaliers are second with 5-2 odds. The Mavericks are 26th with 300-1 odds.
