Golden State Warriors Owner Reveals Team's Future Plans

The Golden State Warriors have a lot to figure out this offseason, and much of it will ride on how the rest of this year plays out. Speaking with The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami on The TK Show, Warriors owner Joe Lacob went over some of the team's future plans that could begin as soon as this summer.

"Plan 1A, we'd actually like to be out of the tax, and we think we have a way to do that," Lacob said "That kind of is the plan. Not just on the second apron, and I’ll tell you why that’s important. The truth is, we need to be below the tax two years out of the next four to get this repeater thing off our books. It’s just so prohibitive. Not say we wouldn’t do it if we had to, but you got to look at what the downside is to doing that."

As Lacob explained, getting below the luxury tax is not just to save him money, but to help Golden State's front office have as much flexibility as possible under the league's new CBA.

Additionally, Lacob told Kawakami, "Plan 1B is we can make big changes if we had to. If this team were to slide all the way down and not do well at the end of the year, you know there’s going to be big changes. If we do really well, we might decide to go the other way."

Making it clear that a lot rides on this season, Lacob revealed some of his future plans for the Warriors.
