Kent Lacob is resigning from the Golden State Warriors' front office after a decade with the organization. He began his career in 2015 and has progressed from coordinator of basketball operations to vice president of basketball development. At 32, Kent expressed that he feels grateful for his experiences but is seeking a different perspective on life and career. He clarified he has no immediate plans and does not wish to work for another NBA team or in a corporate environment. His father, Joe Lacob, supports his decision and acknowledges concerns over nepotism.
"Yeah, it's very comfortable. And I'm incredibly fortunate to have this. Not by my own doing. I have stepped into a world that just put me in this situation to have all this around me. I'm incredibly grateful for it. But I also don't think that it necessarily gives me a fully robust perspective on life and what it is that I ultimately am going to want when I, like, reflect on what I did with my life."
"When you're my kids, you worry about the nepotism charges, and I understand it. I've been on the other side. I know what it's like to look at the rich kid growing up with all of the advantages and whatever. So I understand why people say stuff like that. Now, I know my kids aren't that way."
