Draymond Green in their most recent loss said that they should get Jimmy Butler more involved and have him feel more comfortable in their offense. That’s what one fan thought, too, but he is frustrated with what Steve Kerr is doing and so, he had to take it to the owner.
A Golden State Warriors fan published an email exchange between him and owner Joe Lacob wherein the fan urged the latter do something about Butler playing the wrong position for them. The exchange comes at a time when the team is suffering successive losses despite the return of Stephen Curry who averaged 43.5 points in the last two games.
The fan email and Lacob’s response reads:
An angry Warriors fan emailed Warriors owner Joe Lacob, and he actually responded 😅

Butler missed two games last week but has since then returned and is producing numbers well within his averages. He is affecting the game on both ends, averaging 16.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. However, it does not translate to a win.
Their most recent loss was in the hands of Portland Trailblazers.
Steve Kerr reacts to Jimmy Butler fan’s frustration
Kerr is not a fan of emails getting leaked. He emphasized though that the management feels the same way as fans.
“We’re all frustrated,” Kerr told reporters on Tuesday. Joe is frustrated. I’m frustrated. Steph and [Green], everybody’s frustrated. This is kind of how the league works.”
“I hate when people are going to post private emails. Imagine if everyone’s emails were just publicly posted, how tough that would be to live our lives.”
He also said the owner remains supportive of him despite what’s going on.
“Joe supports me 100 percent. I support him. We have a great connection. We’ve had so much continuity here. Our stable environment in our organization is one of our strengths.”
Warriors, who are currently 13-14 in the standings and 8th in the Western Conference, have a three-day rest before taking on the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
