Overview
- Myers told hosts on Thursday that trading Andre Iguodala in 2019 to free salary for D'Angelo Russell was the toughest decision of his time with the Warriors.
- He said the choice was made for roster reasons and called the moment personally painful because Iguodala had helped win multiple championships.
- Myers praised Iguodala's reaction, quoting him as saying, "I understand. You gotta do what you gotta do," and described the player's response as highly professional.
- Myers said the move 'wasn't fair' and noted Iguodala was traded to Memphis before later joining the Miami Heat and reaching another NBA Finals.
- Speaking as the former Warriors president who served from 2012 to 2023 and now working with the 76ers, Myers added he might have let personal ties affect future moves had he stayed and emphasized these comments are retrospective rather than new roster news.
