Joe Lacob makes bold proclamation after Bay Area awarded WNBA team

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:41:25 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Shortly after the Warriors were awarded a WNBA franchise, Joe Lacob couldn’t help but reference the same promise he made to Warriors fans when he bought the NBA franchise in 2010.“I am telling you right now, we will win a WNBA championship in the first five years of this franchise,” Lacob said Thursday.Patience is not a word often used in describing Lacob. That’s clear with his bold goal of turning a team building a roster from scratch into a title-winning team in five years. But when it comes to his pursuit of bringing a WNBA team to the Bay Area, that’s exactly what he demonstrated, former Warriors president Rick Welts said.The Warriors on two occasions tried to bring a team to Northern California — in 2013 when the Los Angeles Sparks’ future was uncertain and in 2017 when the San Antonio Stars, now the Las Vegas Aces, were up for sale.The timing wasn’t right in either instance, Lacob concluded. But now, with the pand...

U.S. officials shared intelligence with the Canadian government that informed the allegations and have stated that there is...
