11月3日，据24直播网报道，金州勇士队的所有者拉科布在近期的一档95.7 The Game广播节目中，对球队在本赛季剩余赛事中的表现表达了积极的态度。
勇士教练拉科布表示：“目前赛季仅进行至第7场，我们还需保持冷静，切勿急于得出结论。前方道路漫长，我们需不懈努力。目前有两名关键球员因伤缺阵，预计将在赛季中期重返赛场，这要求我们发挥出百分百的战斗力。外界曾对我们提出质疑，认为‘勇士在休赛期无所作为’。然而，有时无为而治也是一种策略。篮球场上的风云变幻，一个球员就能扭转乾坤，或许我们的新加盟球员已经为球队带来了积极的转变。赛季行至下半程，我们还将迎来更多优秀球员的回归。”
Moreover, we possess contracts that are eligible for trade, with at least one set to expire. In a theoretical sense, the presence of expiring contracts opens up numerous strategic possibilities, endowing us with substantial options. It is a certainty that by the end of the season, we will have considerable salary cap room available. Consequently, I am certainly not inclined to engage in a swap with the majority of teams in the league based on the Warriors' current situation. We enjoy an exceptional degree of flexibility and maneuverability. What's more, we still have the greatest player I have ever witnessed in Stephen Curry, who continues to display extraordinary athletic prowess at the age of 38. Therefore, I remain steadfastly optimistic, and now I have ample reasons to maintain that optimism.
