Alec Burks has made it clear that even in this deeply afflicted season he enjoys being a Warrior and is interested in remaining beyond his one-year contract, to see what it's like to play with the fully restored roster expected to grace the court next October. Aside from Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard, who scored an astonishing 61 points to lead his team to a 129-124 overtime victory, Burks was the best player on the floor. It puts the Warriors, 17 days before the NBA trade deadline, in the flexible -- and enviable -- position of choice.
