Joe Lacob’s quick response to an angry fan email hints at Jonathan Cuminga’s strain
The The Golden State Warriors were on the fight bus lately, dropping both games since then Stephen Curry’s return from injury despite the star putting up epic stat lines in both contests. Frustrations are beginning to boil over for a Warriors team that has won just two playoff series since its 2022 championship, as the twilight years of Curry’s career fade away.
Recently, 27-year-old Warriors fan Justin Dutari found an email address associated with the owner of the Warriors team Joe Lacob and expressed his frustration, citing several problems he found in the current iteration of the team.
To his surprise, Lacob sent him an email not more than two minutes later.
“You can’t be as frustrated as I am,” Lacob replied, according to SF Gate’s Alex Simon. “I’m working on it. It’s complicated. The style of play. The coach’s desires for players. League trends. Jimmy’s not the problem.”
Overall, the Warriors have been a huge disappointment so far this year, currently sitting at 13-14 over a quarter since the start of the season. Golden State would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, which is starting to become a familiar place for them over the last few years.
This being the case, it should come as no surprise that the team has been embroiled in trade rumors over the past few weeks, with some fans believing the team should swing the fence for Giannis Antetokounmpo’s trade offer, while others are exploring smaller potential moves for the three-and-D wings scattered around the Western Conference. Jonathan Cumminga he seems like a possible candidate in particular because of his removal from Steve Kerr’s rotation last week.
Whichever path they choose, it’s clear that the Warriors are aware of how disappointing the team has been so far this season.
The Warriors will next take the floor Thursday night on the road against the Phoenix Suns at 9:00 PM ET.
