    When Joe Lacob bought the Golden State Warriors in 2011, he did what any self-respecting venture capitalist would do.

    He took a little time to observe the operation. Then he blew it up.

    “I spent six months doing what I’d do with any startup company. I spent six months looking at things, and realized I didn’t have the right people here,” said Lacob, during a lengthy interview with The Chronicle conducted just prior to the start of the NBA Finals. “We needed a lot more discipline in management. A lot more talent in management.”
