RE: When it Comes to Signing Basketball Players Like Kevin Durant, NBA's Golden State Warriors Have the Lacob Edge

in #sports6 years ago

Enjoyed the read. It helps to explain how the Warriors have been able to not just assemble but keep this star-studded team in tact. I didn't realize just how deeply involved in Silicon Valley that Lacob actually is - makes a lot more sense now how he has been able to assemble the dominant winning culture that he has at Golden State. And I agree that I don't think this team is going anywhere in the future - they are going to continue to compete for Championships. Like you mentioned, his background and connections give him a couple of sizable advantages over the other NBA owners - thanks for all of the great info!

Thanks for the comment. They'll be together for a while and have a chance to keep winning as long as they can stay healthy. The future is an unknown, but at some point, the injuries will pile up and these guys will lose a few steps. When that time comes, I wonder if it may be easier for the W's to sunset these guys' careers in that they have a relevance and an income beyond the court. Will be interesting to watch.

You're welcome - and I agree completely, at some point in the future, the injuries will pile up and the time will come where they will slow down like you noted and the run will come to an end. Will be interesting to see if that plays out - and if they can have relevance and continue to grow their wealth substantially after their playing days are done.
