Live broadcast on December 7th recently, warrior GM Myers accepted an interview with GQ.
He said: “When we (2013) traded igodala, we had to give up some contracts. We traded two unprotected first rounds. This was a big bet, which was rare. But as a team, we have made a decision that this player and this opportunity must take risks.”
“It is a very critical moment to get an excellent player like igodala. I often describe that moment as revolutionary. Before that, no free agent wanted to join us. Igodala was a very heavy free agent at that time. This is a statement that the Warriors are now competitors. This is worth taking risks.”
