Joe Lacob on Klay: 'We love him and I know he knows we love him. And we're going to try to do something here for the rest of his career.'
• Given the tension around this team after Draymond punched Poole last October, is it fair to say that the biggest offseason decision might’ve been which one to keep, either Draymond or Poole, and that you couldn’t keep both?“I don’t want to say absolutely that’s true,” Lacob said. “I think it’s fair to say there was some level of concern going forward whether that was going to be something that would work out. To be honest with you, I think it would’ve worked out, could’ve worked out.
“I thought he was really great,” Lacob said. “I thought he jumped right in. He didn’t have any time, the training wheels had to come off really fast. There was a lot to do for me and us and for him. We processed a lot of things, did a great job in the draft, free agency, trades, he was integrally involved in all of that. … The great thing about Mike is he’s so collaborative and so great to work with… it’s just proven right off the bat to be the case.
I wish he played golf. Mike’s a great guy, fits in great, we’re really, really excited and lucky to have him. As great, great, as Bob Myers was and the great job that he did over 12 years, I don’t think we’re going to miss a beat here.”• Lacob confirmed that the team’s goal will be to get under the second apron by next July and escape the penalties that cost them their midlevel exception and other roster-building tools this summer: “It is very penal to be above it.
To be clear, Lacob was laughing while he said those last few sentences. But that was mostly because of the audacity of saying it, I think, not because he thought it was silly to say.
