The Golden State Warriors responded to their recent struggles by trading for Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets on the first day he became logistically available. Throughout the ownership tenure of Joe Lacob, the Warriors have tended to operate aggressively in their pursuit of transactions.
“Trades are hard. I’ve made this comment before,” Lacob told Tim Kawakami of The San Francisco Standard after the game Sunday night. “This one was available for us at the right time, and hopefully another one, might be two. … Obviously, if we keep losing, I’m going to want to … do something else.”
While many fans of the Warriors want the team to maximize their chances of competing during the remaining prime years of Stephen Curry, Lacob says he’s trying to win at all times.
“I’m always trying to win,” Lacob said. “I don’t care if it’s ‘maximize the Steph years’ or ‘maximize the Draymond years.’ Maximize my years. It doesn’t matter to me. We’re trying to win at all times and be the best team we can.”
