11月3日，24直播网报道，勇士队老板拉科布近期在95.7 The Game广播节目中，畅谈了他对球队在本赛季余下赛事中的积极预期。
拉科布强调：“目前赛季仅进行至第七场，因此我们应当保持冷静，避免过早作出判断。我们面临诸多挑战，绝不可掉以轻心。两名关键球员目前无法参赛，预计将在赛季中段重返赛场，故此我们需竭尽全力。外界曾对我们的表现提出质疑，称‘勇士在休赛期无所作为’。然而，有时最明智的策略就是保持静默。在篮球竞技场，一个球员就能扭转乾坤，或许我们的新加入者正是球队转变的催化剂。赛季的下半程，我们还将迎来几位杰出球员的复出。”
Furthermore, we possess contracts that are available for trade, including at least one contract that is set to expire. In a theoretical sense, the possession of expiring contracts opens up a multitude of strategic possibilities, providing us with an extensive range of options. It is a certainty that by the end of the season, we will have significantly expanded our salary cap room. Consequently, I am not inclined to engage in a trade-off with the majority of teams in the league based on the Warriors' current situation. We enjoy an impressive degree of flexibility and maneuverability. What's more, we continue to have the most exceptional player I have ever witnessed in Stephen Curry, who, at the age of 38, maintains an astonishing level of athletic prowess. Thus, I remain steadfastly optimistic, and I now have ample reasons to sustain that optimism.
