CLEVELAND — Standing in the hallway about 35 minutes after the Warriors’ clinched their third title in four years, second-year guard Patrick McCaw was pondering an upcoming decision.

In less than three weeks, McCaw, will be a restricted free agent, and if all things go his way, he’d be in a Warriors’ uniform come next season.

“I would love to be here,” McCaw said. “There’s no other place I’d rather be, this is all I know.”

Following a strong rookie season, McCaw, 22, averaged 4.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists this year. In a 112-96 win over the Sacramento Kings, he suffered a lumbar spine contusion in a scary fall, bringing fears that he could be paralyzed. However, McCaw returned in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, playing a limited role during the Warriors’ championship run. Still, McCaw knows where he wants to be:

“Who would want to leave such a great team or a great organization?” McCaw said. “Who wants to go through an injury like I did? Nobody. So its all in God’s plan. So whatever he has in store for me, that’s the next step in my story.”

Should McCaw return, he could bring depth to the guard position, with Nick Young not expected to return next season.

“There’s no other place I’d rather be,” McCaw reiterated. “I’m a restricted free agent, so it just depends on how the cards are dealt.”
