11月3日,24直播网报道,勇士队的大股东拉科布近期亮相于95.7 The Game广播节目,畅谈了他对球队在本赛季剩余赛事中的积极预期。

拉科布强调:“目前赛季仅进行了七轮,因此我们应保持冷静,避免仓促做出评判。我们面临众多挑战,绝不可掉以轻心。目前有两名关键球员因伤无法参赛,预计至赛季中段方能重返赛场,故我们需竭尽全力。外界曾对我们口诛笔伐,指责‘勇士团队表现糟糕,休赛期毫无亮点’。然而,有时静观其变乃最佳策略。在篮球竞技中,一位球员的发挥可能颠覆全局,或许我们的新加盟球员正为球队带来转变。赛季后半程,我们还将迎来几位杰出球员的回归。”

Furthermore, we possess contracts that are eligible for trade, including at least one that is set to expire. In theory, the possession of such contracts affords us a plethora of strategic options, broadening our operational scope significantly. It is a certainty that by the end of the season, we will have considerable salary cap room available. Consequently, there is no reason for me to entertain a trade of the Warriors' current status against the majority of teams in the league. Our level of flexibility and maneuverability is exceptionally high. Moreover, we continue to be graced with the presence of the greatest player I have ever witnessed—Stephen Curry—and he maintains an extraordinary level of athletic prowess at the age of 38. Therefore, I remain optimistic, and now I have ample reasons to sustain that positivity.
