Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob has revealed that they
are looking to sign high-profile players after being recently linked with Los
Angeles Lakers star
LeBron James.
As per ESPN's latest report, the Warriors tried to sign James
before the end of the transfer deadline but failed in their bid.
Warriors owner Lacob was quoted in a report where he revealed
that the franchise is always keen on signing high-profile names without naming
James.
“As far as the reports, I’m not going to say anything about
any specific player or anything,” he said. “I’m just going to tell you, you
know, we’re aggressive and we’re looking at things all the time.
“We’re going to look at everything. When we acquired Kevin
Durant many years ago, that was an incredibly aggressive move that we made. I
think half our roster went away in order to accomplish [the deal]. Even though
we had a really good team, we felt we could be better, and we [got better]. We
went to three finals -- should’ve won all three, we did win two.
“There are these inflection points. These times where
sometimes players might be available, even if it’s something you might not have
considered, you need to consider it. We’re always looking at everything. I tell
Mike [Dunleavy Jr.] and Kirk [Lacob] Nothing is off the table -- nothing. If
the deal’s right and the timing is right, we have consensus generally inside,
then we got to consider these things.”
