Warriors owner Joe Lacob estimated that the team\u2019s decision to host their 2026 training camp in Hawaii incurred an additional expense that was \u201cdefinitely in the seven figures,\u201d compared with essentially no additional expense had the team hosted training camp at their home Chase Center, according to Luca Evans of the S.F. CHRONICLE. On the reasoning behind the trip across the Pacific Ocean, Lacob said, \u201cSometimes, the guys who have relationships for a long time\u202f– those relationships get a little monotonous.\u201d He added, \u201cEven putting guys in a different situation than they\u2019ve been in in the past, will kind of help unlock new relationships between players.\u201d The organization began \u201csetting plans for a 2026 Hawaii return<\/a> roughly a year ago.\u201d Lacob ran through a \u201ccost-benefit analysis\u201d of the Hawaii trip last season with GM Mike Dunleavy and the business-operations staff. In particular, Lacob wanted coach Steve Kerr\u2019s \u201cblessing.\u201d But in reality, this \u201creturn to paradise was happening whether he was back at the helm or not.\u201d Lacob: \u201cWe had this conversation in the fall last year, and had no idea if he was coming back. I just wanted to make sure he wasn\u2019t against it, necessarily.\u201d Evans wrote there was a \u201cprice, in sheer organizational lift.\u201d There was a \u201cprice, in sheer — well, price.\u201d But Lacob has \u201cnever been shy to open the pocketbook, if the reasoning is there\u201d (S.F.
