LeBron was on an “emotional roller coaster” every day deciding between Philly, Cleveland, Miami and Golden State, per Rich Paul
“Everyone was at some point leading the race” before Bron ultimately chose the 76ers at 1 AM Friday
English
@TheBBallSage @StephenCurry30 Steph better make some noise quick. Rock that boat. If he doesn’t, and that runners knee comes back causing him to miss games, he loses leverage. Lacob will double down.
English
Trade for Trey Murphy and go get Bruce Brown.
This isn't rocket science.
Lacob family is actively sabotaging. Plain and simple.
Either stick your foot up their asses and demand real change right now or save yourself .@StephenCurry30
English
@TheBBallSage This is really pathetic to me. This is all Lacob. If they trade Steph they better get a major haul back to stack assets. OKC and the Spurs are the model. Lacob can’t get out of his own way.
English
What's funny is that if Steph left the loudest people would be the Bron stans crying that Steph is a "superteam merchant" and is "disloyal" and "ring chasing"

Some rival executives think that Stephen Curry should NOT sign an extension with the Golden State Warriors when he becomes eligible on August 29th due to their 'lack of urgency to compete for another championship'. If Curry chooses NOT to extend with Golden State, he will become an unrestricted free agent in 2027, opening up his possibilities of competing for a title for another franchise 🏆 (via Evan Sidery)
English
@TheBBallSage There is definitely something wrong with this organization and the outside perception of it. Whether it’s Kerr, Dunleavy or Lacob. Something isn’t right. Whatever or whoever it is, word has spread among players league wide it seems. Nobody is anxious to come here.
English
@LegionHoops @BrettSiegelNBA Why? What has he done to justify it?
English
REPORT: Brandin Podziemski’s new deal with the Warriors is likely to be in the $24M per year range, per @BrettSiegelNBA
English
@BontaHill I don’t think that’s a lazy comp at all. Lacob is acting a LOT like Jerry Jones. Only difference is that Steph hasn’t retired and is covering up the warts. When Steph retires Oh BOY. We’re going to find out.
English
Jerry Jones hasn't been to a conference title game since 1995 (31 years and counting). Dubs won a title in 2022. Can we at least wait until 2030 to make that lazy comp?
Skippy Handleman@JeffCoo57387099
@BontaHill No one is calling him John Fisher. He’s being a little like Jerry Jones though. Meddling with player personnel decisions. Please don’t start talking like fans can’t criticize ownership. That’s lame.
English
@Sheridanblog The Warriors have done nothing to gain ground or surpass ANY team that finished ahead of them in the West after finishing 10th. They are looking like 11th right now to me. I think Utah will jump ahead. Anybody ready to step up and help Steph nightly on this team?
English
Lmfao look at the mf'in Warriors. For a team that still has prime Steph Curry in it, this is the sorriest basketball team I've ever seen in my life, and it's all because of Joe Lacob. Curse this team for as long as Lacob owns it.
Sorry Warriors fans, but he deserves nothing.
Automatic@automaticnba
Every new addition officially acquired via trade/free agency through 6 weeks of the offseason. One of the craziest offseasons EVER
English
@TheBBallSage See, that’s what I’m talking about. The Pelicans are trying to work it like OKC or the Spurs. We have a player you want? Give up those draft picks. The Pelicans want to be OKC and make the Warriors be the Clippers in this deal.
English
@BrettSiegelNBA If Podz is a major factor, then you are not a contender.
English
In addition to bringing Draymond Green back and giving Steph Curry a new extension soon, the Warriors and Brandin Podziemski are expected to hold contract extension talks this offseason.
Latest on what's next for Warriors after missing out on LeBron:
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
Anyone interested in new intel on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, especially since there is no paywall to get to it? LeBron James picked the 76ers, so what does this mean for the Warriors, Cavs, Heat, and Timberwolves? All the latest on @ClutchPoints: clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…

@BleacherReport @timkawakami Is there a more hands on owner in the NBA than Joe Lacob?
English
Warriors Governor Joe Lacob's goal is to plan for the post-Steph Curry era, per @timkawakami 😳
English
A rational take on this app. These are all facts. Some of y’all talk about Lacob like he’s John Fisher.
Sean Deveney@SeanDeveney
The Warriors won 4 championships under Lacob. He spent so far into the tax, they changed the tax rules. He built a new arena without holding the Public hostage. Your last owner was CHRIS COHAN! Why are Warriors fan so stupidly weird about Lacob? Ask Blazers fans about owners.
English
@Sheridanblog When Steph retires, will Lacob lower ticket prices? You’re supposed to laugh…
English
Joe Lacob is the worst owner to ever hold a superstar in the NBA.
Ever.
I hope his team suffers nothing but misery after Curry, and I hope a chunk of its fanbase abandon this ridiculous egomaniac/narcissist because he doesn't deserve their precious time.
Chef@CurryForGame
.@timkawakami on Joe Lacob's goal: "What Lacob wants to do and this might get Warriors' fans mad, but he wants to build the next team after Steph Curry. I don't know how possible that is, but Lacob has a very keen interest in 'This organization is going to show what it can do with Steph Curry and then after Steph Curry.' I don't think it's going to be as good myself, but that's what he wants to do."
English
@TheBBallSage We need a Nieman Marcus front office like the Spurs or OKC has. Instead, we get Walmart.
English
In most FOs that would mean you check your assets and see if you can make moves to get better. Oh, what's that, we have nearly $75M in tradeable salaries and ALL of our FRPSs...
Nah... Nothing we can do. Trades are hard.

The Warriors no longer believe they can compete for a championship entering next season, per @NickFriedell “They can no longer walk into another season believing they have a chance at playing in the biggest games that matter.” (nytimes.com/athletic/74691…)
English
@PolymarketHoops @MontePooleNBCS The Jerry West/Bob Myers combination was so good that we are just finally coming to the end of their work with Steph and Draymond being the last of those great teams. When Steph is done, the Warriors are GLeague level. This FO has no clue.
English
The list of star players the Warriors reportedly missed out on the last 3-4 seasons, per @MontePooleNBCS:
- Pascal Siakam
- Lauri Markkanen
- Paul George
- Kevin Durant
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
- LeBron James
😬😬😬

@TheNBABase @NickFriedell If the East Coast media was covering the Warriors, they would torch them…

@Sheridanblog I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Joe Lacob is the Jerry Jones of the NBA. He thinks that HE is the reason for the success of the team and he’s going to try and show you. HE is the mastermind. More important than the players…
English
I've had enough with this - just TRADE Steph Curry.
F*ck Joe Lacob, his team will fail for two decades for what he's done in the Curry timeline.
If you are Curry, you've got to take it personally and despite making this gesture way too late, threaten to leave.
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
Joe Lacob is focused on building the Warriors next era after Steph Curry, per @timkawakami “What Lacob wants to do and this might get Warriors' fans mad, but he wants to build the next team after Steph Curry.” (h/t @TheNBABase)
English
@Sheridanblog This is just crazy. Seriously. If Draymond is worth this kind of money at this stage with his production, then so is Al Horford. They are really proving that they don’t know what they are doing in that FO.
English
Who are the Warriors competing against here, exactly? Why is Draymond worth anything more than a two-year, $10M contract, or even a one-year, $5M contract? Do they realize he was one of the worst players on the team last season? They were literally better without him.

The Warriors are expected to re-sign Draymond Green to a nearly $28 million deal, per @joevardon (nytimes.com/athletic/74692…)
English
@TheDunkCentral @joevardon It is insane to pay him that kind of money at this point of his career. He should get half of that coming off the bench.
English
The Warriors are expected to re-sign Draymond Green to a contract starting at $28 million per year, per @joevardon
