Warriors owner Joe Lacob has addressed ESPN’s bombshell report about the team’s pursuit of LeBron James.
It was easily the biggest story in basketball for days on end, with Golden State trying to extend their dynasty by trying to land arguably the greatest player of all-time.
“We have a culture that is very aggressive,” Lacob said on The TK Show following the report’s publication.
“We’re always going to try to be aggressive, we’re going to try to put the best team on the court. And if it costs a lot of money, it’s gonna cost a lot of money. We’re willing to invest in it. We do those things, hopefully at the right time, not the wrong time.”
Lacob referred to the team’s bold play for Kevin Durant in 2016, which ensured two more championships for Golden State and a full-blown dynasty, with the team winning a total of four championships between 2015 and 2022.
“That was an incredibly aggressive move that we made where I think half of our roster went away in order to accomplish it,” Lacob said. “We felt, even though, we had a really good team we could be better.”
Despite the Warriors being unable to land James before the trade deadline, they will continue to monitor his situation in LA, according to ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
