Lets just ignore flipping Dlo for wiggins, signing Otto and Bjelica and winning a ring just last year

lol at signing Otto and Bjelica.

They both signed because of the likelihood they could multiply their value that comes with playing in an unparalleled egalitarian system (David West said this is the biggest appeal for journeymen going to GS), and getting a chance to, you know, compete for a championship. That's a big ass mf carrot you can dangle in front of free agents. It had little to do with Myers and more about who the Warriors are to players around the league.

Otto wouldn't have signed if Myers was the GM of the Pistons. Put it that way.

Winning last year was because of the OG core and the system. Not because of some grand GM skills that left them with only one legit big man in the rotation.

He deserves credit for flipping Dlo for Wiggins, but in the grand scheme of things when almost every other move he's made (whether that has been on his own accord or pushed by higher ups) hasn't resulted in anything meaningful, it doesn't really mean anything.

[ALonelyDad]

Is he the first successful agent turned GM?

They now want Mike Dunleavy to take his position and the owners son to move up the ladder. Draymond and Myers were close so I'm not expecting Dray to stay with Dunleavy taking the position. Myers said himself "he would help with Dray".

I read it wrong my bad

All 3 gotta go if we are keeping it 100.

Let Steph ride off into the sunset on a super mid (at best) team and then continue blowing it up since a couple of teams out west (Lakers, Blazers, Clips) will be doing the same publicly or forcibly

You're bugging. Zero legit reason to deal Steph.

You're bugging. Zero legit reason to deal Steph.

Ride off into the sunset as in let him play out the rest of his deal and leave on his own terms

Aint nothin finna change. Foundation of this Warriors run was Jerry West and Mark Jackson.... Long as Steph, Dray, Klay there they finna be top 5 contenders every season. They draftin might even get better now. Myers seem like a top tier consultant a guy that players love includin Warriors core. Its important to have characters specially cacs that players really fw like dat.... but outside of it he aint do that much over there... The DLo for Wiggins/Kuminga was the best shyt he did by far and havin KD who have a good rapport wit em to agree wit sign and trade was big for em. Not seein a whole lot else he did....

Yall tell me.. who you drafting at 2 if you're the warriors and NOT looking for a guard. And I'm definitely not a warriors fan.. but that draft was super mid at best

Jordan Poole needs to step down too, lol, just jokes

Warriors was expected to be a 35 win team in 2013 and he got em 47 wins and a 1st round upset over 3rd seeded Denver. Gave that all time 2012-14 Spurs run one of they toughest series too. All wit a rotation that was like 24yo on average.

Steph and Klay was ATTEMPTIN less than 9 3s a game combined before Mark got over there brashly sayin he got the GOAT shootin backcourt while nikkas called him crazy mentionin Jerry West and Gail Goodrich and em other backcourts

He empowered Steph and Klay to take insane shots that most coaches bench nikkas for. Steph was shootin like shyt to start the 2013 season, takin "bad shots" and he told em dont change and continue, Laid groundwork and principles for Warriors on both ends of the floor for white privilege to take over. Even was key in gettin Iggy to Golden State. There a reason Steph, Klay, Dray, Iggy damn near everyone besides that atheist cac Bogut stay praisin Mark and creditin him for everythin 10 years later.

You cannot disrespect the caterpillar and rave about the butterfly lil nikka



You stay discreditin black coaches that aint timid, mute autists we onto you cac

Miss me with all this vague ass generic nonsense.

This is what happens when you let keyboard militancy rot your brain from the inside-out, you lose all understanding of hoops (which I suspect for you wasn't much to begin with). Mark ain't got shyt to do with the dynasty they created; he's a small initial component that ended up being replaced by a better model.

If he was still the coach they would've have seen any success. In fact, he and GS would've parted ways long ago even if he stayed on past 2014.

If he continued to be the coach, Dray would've ended up being a more traditional PF where he ultimately would've been traded for someone with more perceived offensive ability because he wouldn't have moved the needle playing in that sort of a role. All this Draymond running point and being a key figure in everything they do, allowing him to be the best version of himself, wouldn't have been. The nucleus behind their success has been harnessing Steph's ability to make everyone else's job easier, allowing them to develop their games and give them freedom in an equal-opportunity offense, and using that to generate rhythm, confidence and belief that we otherwise wouldn't have seen with the shyt Mark was running.

The Warriors literally went from one of the worst ball-movement teams to the best after he was fired. That's what their chemistry was built off. Chemistry that wouldn't have existed with some shyt of running post-ups for Klay as a go-to action.

Steph would've stayed being more of a traditional PG and probably would've had a similar career-trajectory to Dame, where everyone would be talking about how he wasn't good enough and how he needed better teammates to win, and not someone who was utilized in a fashion that actually made his teammates better, breaking the glass ceiling on what it means to be a PG.
