On Tuesday morning the Warriors are hosting a gala media event to introduce Jerry West as an adviser to the team, the same Jerry West who is one of the greatest players in NBA history, the same Jerry West who put together some fabulous Los Angeles Lakers teams and is [...]
Grant here with another basketball blog. If you haven’t heard, the Warriors have started their search for a new head coach. Apparently, the Warriors top choices are former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, Mavericks Assistant Dwane Casey, and Celtics assistant and former Nets coach Lawrence Frank. Brown and Casey will get [...]
Keith Smart is out as Warriors coach. Personally, I regret this because Smart is a good guy and he did a good -- not great -- job with the Warriors. But clearly owner Joe Lacob wants to cut his ties to the Warriors' past and firing the coach is the [...]
It is about 6:30 p.m. Saturday and, as promised, here is my column on Joe Lacob. I hope you like it, but I'm also giving you an assignment, if you don't mind. I want you to be a literary critic. In an earlier post I gave you the "out-takes," quotes [...]

During the Warriors media luncheon on Monday at the Epic Roasthouse in San Francisco new head guy Joe Lacob waxed enthusiastic about owning the team. He waved his hand in the direction of the Bay and said the Warriors play in the greatest city in the nation. I took him [...]
Joe Lacob and Peter Guber introduced themselves to the world and the media as the new owners of the Warriors, introduced themselves on Monday at a luncheon at a terrific San Francisco restaurant. Lacob is the No. 1 guy in the ownership group. He is very interesting and very involved [...]
I'm reading comments from Zohnists and some are grumbling re: Joe Lacob. Readers are unhappy he still has Rowell, Fitz, Riley and point out the only move he made was to dump Nelson. Well, hold on. Getting rid of Nelson was big. The Warriors roster also has changed and with [...]
Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, the men who are in the process of acquiring the Warriors, are seeking additional investors in the team. I know this for a fact. I don't know what it means. Does it mean Lacob and Guber are cash poor for the NBA -- unlike Larry [...]
