Steve Kerr Shrugs Off Leaked Email From Warriors Owner Joe Lacob
Warriors sit 13-14 and eighth in Western Conference as owner Joe Lacob and coach Steve Kerr acknowledge frustration over roster issues and coaching amid team struggles.
- Sunday, after a loss in Portland, Justin Dutari emailed Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob, who replied `You can't be as frustrated as me`, and the Warriors confirmed the exchange after it circulated on Reddit.
- Fans and analysts pointed to roster issues like lack of a second option as Dutari and others criticized Jimmy Butler's deployment and Jonathan Kuminga's reduced role amid injuries and rotation changes recently.
- Turnovers and lineup instability have undercut the Warriors' performances, with Stephen Curry scoring 48 points including 12 3-pointers, 18 turnovers giving Portland 24 points, and nine different recent starting lineups.
- Kerr defended his working relationship with Lacob and condemned the leak, saying he 'hate when people are going to post private emails' at a Tuesday news conference at Chase Center.
- Kerr's contract year and stated reluctance to negotiate this season frame the longer-term stakes, while Kuminga's benchings revive trade talk ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline amid organization-wide frustration.
