OAKLAND, Calif., July 14 (UPI) -- Was the Oklahoma City Thunder the best team in the 2016 NBA playoffs?

The answer would be yes, if you ask Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala. Iguodala was the 2015 NBA Finals MVP and part of the winningest regular season team in NBA history last season.

Still, he says the Thunder was better than his Warriors, and the title-holding Cleveland Cavaliers.

Now that those Warriors acquired Kevin Durant from the Thunder, Iguodala said he could make his true beliefs known.

"Now that we got KD I can say it: [the Thunder] were the best team in the playoffs," Iguodala said Thursday on The Breakfast Club. "They were better than us, they were better than Cleveland. They should have won a championship. They played us better than anyone. They had our number"

Iguodala, 32, is in the final year of his contract with the Warriors and is due $11.1 million this season. He averaged 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists this season.

The Thunder won't be the same team next season. After losing Durant, the team is expected to trade All-Star guard Russell Westbrook "sooner than later."
