David Lee focusing on playoff finals despite talk of a trade

Golden State Warriors center David Lee says that he is focusing fully on the looming NBA playoff finals despite his waning role in Steve Kerr's side.

Golden State Warriors center David Lee has insisted that he is focusing on the franchise's playoff final clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers instead of worrying about where his future lies.

The former All-Star has become less prominent in Steve Kerr's side this season, with the 32-year-old failing to play for more than five minutes in Golden State's last five games as talk of a potential trade looms.

"That's nothing new (the trade speculation). But once again, what's kind of predicted and what ends up happening is not always the same thing," said Lee, according to the NBA's official website.

"We'll just see what happens. I love it here. We have accomplished a lot here. We'll see once the season's over.

"The most important thing, though, is getting this ring first and then worrying about that later."

Lee began his career playing college basketball for Florida before being drafted by the New York Knicks in 2005.
