“You can’t be as frustrated as me” — Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob hilariously replies to fed-up fan after Stephen Curry’s 48-point night

Joe Lacob, the owner of the Golden State Warriors, recently replied to a very surprising email from a fan. Lacob has listened to what the Warriors supporter has to say and claimed that he is trying to make the team better. One Golden State fan, Justin Dutari, sent an email to an address he thought belonged to Lacob at 8:44 p.m. PT on Reddit. He did it after the Warriors' 136-131 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

To everyone's surprise, Lacob replied to the mail. Although his support for Jimmy Butler shows that Golden State will probably continue to build around Stephen Curry, the email suggests that he is open to making a significant trade. The Warriors lost the lead and the game after Curry walked into Moda Centre in Portland on Sunday and scorched the Trail Blazers for 48 points.

Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob responded directly to frustrated fan after the loss against Portland

With a subject line of “Please read,” Dutari wrote:

“Dear Joe… Please do something about this Team. What Steph need to do every night to win? Drop 50 points? Team is need a real second option. Jimmy's tools are being underutilized because he is playing as a power forward due to the small position players. We have no true center. I am so frustrated. Thanks, Justin..”

Dutari gave the owner his thoughts on the team's problems and rhetorically questioned whether Curry needed to hit 50 points every night for the team to win. As per sources like SF gate, since Dutari attended a Warriors game at Oracle Arena in the early 2010s and was astounded by Steph Curry, he has been a fan.




In a phone chat with SFGATE on Monday, Dutari expressed his frustration with the team's Sunday night loss to the Blazers, despite Curry's 48-point performance. Meanwhile, the Warriors supporter was heard by Joe Lacob.

Two minutes after Dutari sent the fan's email, he himself responded, expressing his shared irritation. He further claimed that he was "working on it." He then replied:

“You can't be as frustrated as me. I am working on it… It's complicated. Style of play. Coaches desires regarding players. League trends… Jimmy is not the problem… Joe..”

Jonathan Kuminga’s uncertain role highlights growing tension within the Golden State Warriors’ plans

Steve Kerr, the coach of the Warriors is one of the strongest supporters of Jonathan Kuminga. He also has frequently complimented the wing, even in the wake of the drama and prolonged contract impasse from the previous offseason.

It's no secret that Lacob is quite concerned about the Warriors' current situation. He allegedly hasn't been afraid to voice his opinions or even advocate for specific changes to be made in the past in order to keep the team in the running for titles.

In contrast, Steve Kerr, the coach of the Warriors, has been open about what kind of player he wants Kuminga to be in order for him to fit in with the team, especially surrounding Curry. Additionally, Kuminga is currently out of coach Steve Kerr's rotation, and he did not play in Sunday's loss. Although the Warriors won't be able to sell Kuminga until January 15, it appears inevitable that they will do so as soon as they can.
