11月3日，据24直播网报道，金州勇士队的主宰拉科布近期接受了95.7 The Game广播节目的邀请，就本赛季剩余赛事的积极态度发表了观点。
“仅经历了7场比赛，我们必须保持冷静，避免仓促作出判断。我们面临的挑战尚多，不容有失。目前，两名关键球员受伤，预计要到赛季中期才能重返赛场，我们必须竭尽全力。外界曾对我们冷嘲热讽，称‘勇士的休赛期一片空白’。然而，有时不做选择也是一种明智。在篮球的世界里，一个球员的力量足以扭转乾坤，或许我们的新加入者正是那个改变球队命运的人。赛季的后半程，我们还将迎来几位伤愈归来的杰出球员。”
Moreover, our possession of tradable contracts provides us with at least one contract that is set to expire. In theory, the presence of expiring contracts opens up numerous strategic possibilities, granting us a substantial range of options. It is a certainty that by the end of the season, we will have considerable salary cap room available. Consequently, there is no comparison I would make between the Warriors' current situation and the majority of teams in the league. We enjoy an exceptional level of flexibility and maneuverability. What's more, we still have the greatest player I have ever seen in Stephen Curry, who continues to display an astonishing level of athleticism at the age of 38. Hence, I remain optimistic, and I now have ample reasons to maintain that optimism.
