Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob doubled down on Steve Kerr's previous ex
planation on why the team traded Jordan Poole, admitting that they felt it was
 time for a change.

金州勇士隊老闆Joe Lacob再度重申Steve Kerr之前對於為何球隊交易Jordan Poole的解
釋，承認他們覺得是時候做出變動了。


To recall, after the Warriors sent Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards in a
 trade for Chris Paul, Kerr opened up about their rationale behind the deal an
d pointed out that they “sensed” they “needed a shift.”

回顧一下，勇士隊將Poole交易至華盛頓巫師，換取Chris Paul後，Kerr透露了他們做此
交易的理由，並指出他們「感覺」到他們「需要一種轉變」。


“Didn't mean we needed an overhaul, but we needed a shift of some sort. I thi
nk everybody in the organization sensed that. And it feels like we’ve made a
pretty significant shift without giving up our identity and our sense of who w
e are as a team. I think, all in all, it’s a very positive shift,” Kerr furt
hered.




Now, Lacob shared similar sentiments while speaking with Madeline Kenney of Me
rcury News, emphasizing that it was a decision they needed to do. The Draymond
 Green punching incident with Poole clearly had a negative impact on the team,
 and Lacob's admission only adds fuel to the belief that it's a big reason why
 the Dubs pulled the trigger on the Poole-Paul deal.




Lacob, however, expressed optimism that having Paul will help elevate Golden S
tate back to title contention.

然而，Lacob表達了樂觀的態度，認為有了Paul將有助於把金州重新提升到冠軍競爭的行
列。


“We had to change something. While it's a short-term move, Chris Paul is a fa
bulous Hall of Famer who will I think certainly help our second unit, help our
 first unit if he plays there, wherever he plays, he’s a tremendous guy,” La
cob said before clarifying that the coaches have yet to decide whether to star
t CP3 or have him come off the bench.




After the Warriors won the title in 2022, many thought that Jordan Poole will
be Stephen Curry's heir apparent in Golden State and take over when he calls i
t a career. Naturally, it came as a surprise when the team dealt Poole away.



However, as Joe Lacob and Steve Kerr hinted, they really needed to make a choi

ce between him and Green seeing that things wouldn't work after that punching
incident. And considering the Dubs' desire to compete for a championship in th
e remaining prime years of Curry, keeping Green was the choice they thought ma
de the most sense.
