Warriors owners Joe Lacob (left) and Peter Guber pledged to foot the bill for the team's championship parade in June. During the Golden State Warriors' championship parade in Oakland this past June, team owner Joe Lacob promised fans he would foot the bill for a city facing financial difficulties. Earlier this month, though, the Warriors and Oakland were haggling over a $1 million bill that was three times the city's original estimate but a quarter of the amount a team spokesman pledged soon after the parade.
