With the blockbuster Warriors news that the Golden State Warriors have hired TNT analyst Steve Kerr to a five-year, $25 million deal, count Warriors owner Joe Lacob amongst those excited for Kerr's arrival to Oakland.
Here's Lacob's thoughts on the hire, via Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports:
Lacob on Kerr: "Very bright. Very personable. Very, very prepared. I have always liked him... but he sold our group. Bob, Jerry, loved him"

Joe Lacob also said in text that Steve Kerr is a "great organizational fit." — Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) May 15, 2014
The hire of Kerr comes on the heels of reports earlier this week that the Warriors looking elsewhere due to Kerr being too far along in the negotiation process with Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks.
However, the Golden State Warriors may have sold Kerr using both money and the perceived talent gap between the Warriors and the lowly Knicks as selling points.
