In the immediate aftermath of Golden State's second consecutive NBA Championship, Warriors Owner Joe Lacob already had his sights set on what lied ahead:
"Okay, maybe we'll rest for 20 minutes," he semi-quipped upon emerging from the locker room celebration.
The root of Lacob's urgency was twofold. First and foremost, a desire to maintain the lofty heights the team has achieved three times in the last four seasons.
"I tell Bob [Myers] every day, our job is not to let it end," Lacob told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.
But second – and more immediate – he, Myers and the rest of Golden State's decision makers had a lot of work to do.
