Lee and the Warriors will mutually pursue a trade this offseason, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.

Analysis:

Despite contributing to a championship-winning team, it was well known that Lee would likely seek a new home this offseason after falling out of the rotation for parts of the 2014-15 season. The two-time All-Star averaged near-career-lows across the board, playing only 18.4 minutes per game as the backup to do-it-all forward Draymond Green. The 32-year-old Lee has one year and $15.5 million remaining on his contract, but despite the large cap number, he figures to draw interest due to the fact that the deal expires after next season. Lee, who has his issues defensively, is just a year removed from averaging 18.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
