Joe Lacob is a newlywed — he recently married his longtime fiancée Nicole Curran — and he’s also about to start a new Warriors season, so Lacob was full of bounce and energy for this podcast episode earlier today.

He also was gulping down Pepsi throughout, so that might’ve helped, too.

With training camp set to start next week, we talked about the surprise signing of DeMarcus Cousins, the discussions with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for long-term extensions and Kevin Durant signing another one-year deal.

We also talked about Chase Center’s scheduled opening next season and Lacob’s thumbs up for LeBron James ending up with the Lakers, which also means the Warriors almost certainly will not have to take a fifth straight trip to Cleveland for the Finals in June.

Finally, I asked Lacob about Ethan Strauss’ great recent story on how Lacob and Peter Guber maneuvered around Larry Ellison to talk directly to Chris Cohan in 2010 to cut the deal to buy the Warriors.
