Mavs' Barnes: Finals loss led to Warriors changes

LOS ANGELES -- Harrison Barnes believes he still would be a member of the Golden State Warriors if they won last season's NBA championship.

However, Barnes knew after his exit interview in the wake of the Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers that he had likely played his final game for the franchise. He described his chances of returning to the Warriors at that point as "slim to none," even though Golden State had the right to match any offer he received as a restricted free agent.
