11月3日，据24直播网报道，金州勇士队的主席拉科布近期在95.7 The Game电台节目中，对球队在本赛季剩余赛事中的前景表达了积极态度。
拉科布强调：“目前赛季仅进行了七轮，因此我们需保持冷静，避免过早作出判断。我们面临诸多挑战，绝不可有所松懈。目前有两名关键球员因伤无法出战，预计需至赛季中期方能重返赛场，因此我们需全力以赴。外界曾纷纷指责我们，称‘勇士夏季无所作为’。然而，有时无为也是一种策略。在篮球竞技中，一位球员便能扭转乾坤，或许我们的新加盟球员正是球队变革的关键。赛季行将过半，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 multitude of strategic options, broadening our strategic horizons significantly. It is a certainty that as the season draws to a close, we will have considerable salary cap room available. Consequently, I am resolute in my refusal to engage in a trade-off of our Warriors' current status with the majority of teams in the league. Our level of flexibility and maneuverability is unparalleled. Moreover, we continue to be graced with the presence of the greatest player I have ever witnessed, Stephen Curry, who, at the age of 38, maintains an astonishing level of athletic prowess. Thus, I remain steadfastly optimistic, and now, I have ample justification to sustain that optimism.
