I give the Warriors a tough time but Lacob is the kind of team owner people should want....

He is willing to spend money, pursue and pay to keep talent.

Dan Gilbert is up in Cleveland playing a game of standoff with paying JR Smith
Gilbert has already gone over the cap to build that team

Smith isn't worth that money

JR was the perfect 3 and D player for the Cavs.

Hit over 200 3's for the Cavs.....in fact became the single season record holder for three pointers made in a season for the franchise...

He is their glue guy and gives them defensive length on the wing alongside Lebron among other things

Anyway I dont want to derail a Warriors thread with this...

But my point was simply to make that Lacob doesnt seem to be the type of guy to prioritize money over the team being better

Yea but is he worth the 15 mil he wants?

10 mil yes, 15 is pushing it

Lacob makes decesions on whether there good or bad

I just don't think smith is all that great when he isn't hitting 3s

Lacob puts winning first. He doesn't cut corners to save money if it helps the team win games. The money will come with the winning.
