Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob spoke the thoughts of many Warriors fans and those in the organization regarding Patrick McCaw’s absence through training camp and entering the 2018-19 season.
“I don’t really understand it,” Lacob told Bay Area News Group recently. “It completely befuddles me. I’m at a loss.”
McCaw declined the Warriors’ $1.7 million qualifying offer that would have made him a restricted free agent. He also has declined the Warriors’ two-year, $2.5 million deal, including a team option on the second year.
Warriors general manager Bob Myers told Bay Area News Group last week that he still wants to retain McCaw despite spending his second year dealing with a back injury and inconsistency.
