Bob Myers just doesn’t wanna tell Klay and Draymond they’re not worth the max 😂😂😂😂😂
I honestly don’t know why people hate him for leaving. If he didn’t want to make that tough of a decision then good on him for not making a decision out of his emotions. Leave it to the next guy with new ideas. He shouldn’t get criticism for leaving.
He told Draymond before
As a live long Warriors fan, I hate to say it, they not
@@carlsagan2607 lol you're overdoing it nobody "hates him" for leaving 1st of all, secondly not giving Draymond & Klay max contracts isn't a tough decision it's obvious they're not max players anymore but yea just leave it up to the new guy to be the bearer of bad news lol give me a break
Loooool
Jj thought he was slick when he mentioned the time klay almost got traded but forgot to mention that bob myers was the one who wanted to trade Klay & it was Jerry west who stopped that from happening by threatening the organization to quit if they traded klay plus he pushed for klay in the draft. Imagine GSW without klay
Allegedly lol. Nah we know it was true
Bob still listen to jerry
jj thinks he knows everything like chill out bruh
You’re right but bob still had the brains to not let his ego be hurt and listened
It was for Kevin love. Kevin love put a ring on his finger the very next year. If they would have they could have 5/6 rings right now. Dumb af argument.
Mad dog and JJ together is comedy gold. They’re like the new abbot and Costello
They really are good together; perfect combination of old school vs. new school
It’s like dumb and dumber. Like literally. I’m wondering if they make the medical cutoff points of 80 IQ smh
Seems like first take is moving towards making the show more comic. Love it. Not every debate or topic have to be a conflict response
I have to agree with Doggie on this one. He’s not saying not to give Myers credit; he’s just saying that his credit has been amplified disproportionately to his championship contributions
It’s the way mad dog saying it 😂😂 Bro acting like it’s 1932 & the GM scoutin talent he heard about on the street 🤣🤣
the question isnt could Bob Myers win championships without Steph and Cllay. The question is could Steph and Clay win championships without Bob Myers. The answer is probably not. 1st ring he got Harrison Barnes, Andre Igudala, Sean Livingston. You dont beat Cavs without those three. Nest 2 rings he got KD, nuff said on that. Last ring he got Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton jr and Jordan Poole. Probably do not win there either. So yes he deserves a ton of credit. Lots of great players but not lots of great teams
It’s all part of the dynasty. There’s a lot of people who are helping, and Bob’s relationship with the players made it so that others wanted to come to Golden State. Yes, there were a few transactions that were incredible and some ones that weren’t but it was because how they treat players and how they listen and care that made this organization a dynasty
Mad dog is only repeating himself without listening to other valid arguments. Myers made some good trades for sure to keep a distinct culture intact and adding some very valuable additions. Enough examples of GM messing things up.
@@philipthijssen6488ho? iguadala who rob Steph from finals mvp and the guy that they traded to the pistons 😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️
I’ve been watching this show for like 15 years. never heard people bust out in laughter behind the camera 😂😂 Mad Dog and JJ are great
The fact that jj made mad dog's point at the end is hilarious 😂 😃
😂😂😂😂
Check mate !!!!
" They got Steph".😂
Mad Dog held his own and actually had a valid point
Not really, he kept talking about draft picks when they weren’t going to get any high picks if the warriors are winning
But they did have high draft picks Wiseman (2nd pick) and Kuminga (7th)
No he just kept saying he wasn't as good as Red lol. Doesn't mean he wasn't one of the best at what he did
Repeating the same thing for 13 minutes is not holding your own lol
You probably do not watch the Warriors very close so I get how you could think that way. They do not beat the cavs for the first ring without Igudala and Harrison Barnes (who Myers got) They may not have won the next two rings without K>D> (who Myers got) They dont get 4th ring without Payton Jr. Wiggins and Poole(who Myers got) Myers drafted Kevon Looney with a late pick. So maybe Steph and Clay never win a ring without Bob Myers (and definitely don't win 4)
First take is at its best wen Madd Dogg is here 🙌🏿 😂😂😂😂😂
Bob Myers deserves credit but Mad Dog is right in him getting too much Credit.
He shouldn't be a HOFer?
@@lionelsheja6381 That is not the question, is it?
@@lionelsheja6381 he’s running away from the house he created before it comes tumbling down. Everyone is getting overpaid except Steph and he wants to keep his record clean with 4 championships in 8 years so he doesn’t have a championship drought for the next decade on his resume until they get a new steph 😂
@@lionelsheja6381 that's a good question. i think he makes the hof based on accomplishments, but i still think he's getting too much credit
He is getting to much credit
I love how much Mad Dog winds up JJ 🤣
Have to agree with Mad Dog on this. Klay and Curry made all this happen. And good team coaching. And Dray came alone, really took it up a notch .............
Getting wiggins helped them win a 4th ring because a lot of ppl wanted them to hold down dlo as he just came all star year with the nets that was a great trade
You probably do not watch the Warriors very close so I get how you could think that way.

@@josephgonsalves755 I agree with you somewhat. But these you are saying that won. Such as Iguodala , Barnes, KD, Wiggins, and Poole ,etc They would not and did not without Curry, Klay being the leaders , and Dray . These are the three that made it and makes it happen with good coaching .
Mad Dog needs to be on more. I love listening to him compare today's game to the past.
Mad dogg is a different breed 😂😂😂😂😂
Yea a stupid breed
He louder than I remember 😂
He just love to argue lol
@@cookiemonster64 I can see that
I just love watching these 3 together! Best thing on tv! I hadn't had that much fun watching espn in years! Please more of them together 🙏🙏🙏
For the first time, I actually agree with Doggie. Myers' draft picks are failing plus he benefited from the previous front office Picks. What has he really done?
Bob Myers drafted Looney, executed a sign and trade to acquire DLO for KD and then moved DLO for Wiggins and what ended up being Kuminga. He also found guys like Otto Porter and GP2 as JJ mentioned. I wouldn’t call him the goat gm but he’s certainly one of the better general managers in the league
@@kloonmen374 wdym found otto porter and gp2 were in the league for years, playing with 2 great shooters and a ball handler means they just have to play D and spot up 3s.
His picks are not failing as much as his picks are not being given the opportunity to develop. Curry didn't sit on the bench with a short leash as a young player because he was on a win now roster. Ditto for Klay and Green. I said this last off-season with Poole. They made a mistake Kerr and Bob with the guy they gave the long leash too. They fell too in love with their system and failed to see that their system needed some changes. Wiseman and Kuminga should have been the guys who they allowed to play through mistakes the past two seasons, not Poole. Wiseman and Kuminga actually plugged holes. Poole just gave them more of what they already had. Pop and the Spurs for 20 years tweaked and built rosters around core guys with ascending and descending skill sets. When Kawhi started to look like a guy, they told him to go win us games and tweaked their system around what he did well. They didn't try to find the next Tim Duncan. We saw Wiseman go to Detroit and look like a legit NBA starter. He needs room to be able to mess up and play through it. If Kuminga was shipped to Orlando or Charlotte he's a 18/7+ guy. This is the Carmelo Anthony situation. What happens if Detroit drafts Melo? He sits on the bench behind Prince and we call him a bust.
@@trainerrob1622 bro, the Warriors were not a win now team when Curry was a young player. They came out of nowhere and became what they are today.
I really hate that I think your right🤢🤢🤢🤢
Madd dog vs Skip Bayless would be classic 🔥🔥🔥
To delusional mfers can't work
i got madd dog to cover the spread
@@jarbarnhill 😂😂💪🏽
Mad dog by 50!!
Mad dog would easily win but it’ll look like two brothers debating 😂😂
Jerry West is the reason Bob Myers is even relevant
facts
This goes back to when Jerry Krause was the GM for the Bulls and was looking to get the credit and acclimation in putting that roster together in the 90s.
Why doesn't deserve credit for putting two championship teams together? Even Jordan and Pippen have given him all the credit for it.
Well, he does. He drafted Horace Grant, traded his pick for Scottie Pippen, then traded for Bill Cartwright, then drafted BJ Armstrong & Toni Kukoc. When MJ retired, he brought in Ron Harper and traded for Luc Longley and Dennis Rodman. He won Exec of the Year twice. He should get a lot of credit for the rosters he was able to build.
@@camctrail not to mention getting 2 of the top 10 most accurate 3pt shooters of all time in Hodges and Kerr. People think Jordan carried bums though lol.
Krause has become significantly underrated at this point. He was the architect of those championship teams despite the beefs with the players.
Honestly Krause was way more important than Jackson to that team tbh.
“Stepping away to spend time with family” 💀 bro forgot he was management and acting like he was player on the road for 8 months of the year for 20 years 😂💀🤡
He actually was on the road with the team and he had to spend 10-15 hours a day during the season doing team stuff. The family time is limited when your management making millions
I love Mad Dog. He is so blunt and says it how it is. He knows his NBA history too with all the draft picks and stuff. Dude is an encyclopedia.
He’s playing the old man role well, “everything was better back in the day, blablabla…”
Took the words out of my mouth. Love Mad Dog here as well.
Mad Dog really wakes up and spits facts every single day of his life
He’s cooking JJ on the DAILY
But his facts aren't relevant to the job Bob Myers have done, so they're pointless.............

@@stevenorthwick2480 10:10 they proved his point though 😂. Bob Meyers was great. But I think any player can excel with curry klay and Kerr
this was the best episode I've seen in a years
I don’t even know who Rick Willabee is 😂😂
Andre iguodala said after they knocked the warriors out of the play offs when he was in Denver, he made up his mind to join the warriors because he saw their potential
He said he made the call to one of the players to let them know he’s willing to join the warriors
I forgot that.
Steph recruited Iggy. During their team USA tour
Warriors knocked his nuggets out the playoffs bud
@@Laid2Sleepok? Bob had to make that work salary cap
@@kendrelc5977 they were over the cap plus iggy took friendly discount.
Y’all need to put more respek on Jerry West and Mark Jackson these were the framers of this Dubs dynasty not Kerr and Myers
Jackson was holding them back and west was the main reason behind the dynasty being built
As usual doggie cooking jj 😂😂
According to who???😂😂
Mad dog yet again cooking y’all 😂😂😂
mad dog is definitely under jj skin. making him mad with every utterance 🤣🤣
Lmaooooo @ JJ “I don’t even know who that is”
Less Molly more arguing lol
Jerry West built it, Mark Jackson taught them the system, Kerr and Bob inherited a fortune, an already established system and lastly, Dray and Steph got KD signed with the Warriors, not Bob Myers.
Then why was Kerr able to get the warriors to the finals, and Jackson wasn't? Kerr implemented a different system when he took over, more catered to offense, as opposed to Jackson who was moreso defensive.
word
They wouldn’t win 4 rings with Jackson. Y’all wanna rewrite history so bad.
If Myers had nothing to do with KD signing then why is KD calling him from Monaco as soon as he heard the news Bob's leaving or posting IG stories with him? The idea that the GM and president had nothing to do with the job he's literally paid to do is ridiculous.
exactly and people act like bob myers would have won chips with the dubs if steph wasn't there . steph is the main reason their winning and it always has been
Madd Dog is an OG of talk format!! Owned NY radio with Mike Francesca for years! This is a walk in the park for him!! Easy work!!💯
10:07 😂 this sequence is hilarious
More debates pleeease
It was nice to get a Shaun Livingston shoutout in this clip. The midrange God himself 🔥
🤣That one person off screen lost it at "I don't know who Rick Willabee is"
The other key thing is getting supporting cast. Man management too. Weaknesses or not superstrength: draft picks
Absolutely love this trio. Big 3 vibes for sure
Myers dipping before the real tough decisions have to be made 😂
He probably knows the team is stuck with Poole. They can’t afford to keep the big three together.
This is hilarious.. Best part is that everyone at the table makes great points and no one is wrong..
Madd Dogg is Hilarious 🤣😆🤣 "What is Steve kerr ??? Red Auerbach ?!?!!"
JJ and Mad Dog relationship is hilarious
*Fresh page. Waking up in the morning*
Bob Myers is a completely underated GM he was a true warrior his competitiveness to lead the organization will be truly missed 🔥.
the question was is if he’s getting more credit than he deserves? I think they are giving him way too much credit. The dynasty doesn’t end with him.
Madd dog finished y'all at the end
I love that Mad Dog always brings up players and coaches from the 60’s-80’s lol
every time mad dog throwing out names from the 70s made me die laughing lol
He sees the writing on the wall how the new CBA is gonna make it impossible to do business.

I feel they were arguing different stuff. Jj was giving flowers, like yeah he was great at his job, doggy was acting like someone called him the goat

Maintaining an organisation that is in the successful lane is extremely hard in any sector. We all know a lot of heirs who messed up successful family business organisations. Consistency is not measured by what happened yesterday, it's the wins going forward. Bob Myers did an excellent job & he deserves the inclusion on the list of people who contributed to the success & dynasty of GSW
Mad dawg forever talking bout the 50’s and 60’s
Ignoring the wiseman pick Myers completely wiffed on Lmaoo MadDog had ammo he didn’t even use

I agree with Mad Dog. Drafting Steph and Klay is the integral part of their success. Same reason why Krause was underrated, coz he didn't draft the most important piece.
Mad dog looking like that drunk uncle you invite for Thanksgiving and as soon as he opens his mouth you regret that decision.
😂😂😂
When management starts to think they're the reason for the team success and not the actual players on the court they need to go.
JJ is trying to enlightened Madd Dogg this is not the 50s' or The 60s' 😂😆😂😆 .... 💯☝🏿😁
Sas - SO ACCORDING TO YOU THERE CAN ONLY BE FIVE HALL OF FAME GMS?!?!
doggy - thaaaaaaaattttttsssssss right!!
😂😂
Steph, Klay and Dray talk highly about how important Myers has been to their dynasty but these analysts think they know better about the workings of their own team 😂
The question isn't highly it is HOF
People forget Jerry West was instrumental putting the team together. Part of the reason they didn't trade Klay for Love is because West threatened to quit of they made that move. AND West is why they hired Thompson and many role players. West deserves a ton of credit.
I'm sick of people ignoring that. Yes!
Facts
I thought JJ said “traded for Cash and Cr*ck” 😂
This dude funny af
Everyone keeps saying it's Dunleavy, not really the sons. The sons go from third in the tier to co-seconds in command with Dunleavy as number one, as GM. This leads to however long Dunleavy is under contract until he leaves and the sons take over definitively.
Lacob doesn't seem to be the kind of person that skips steps of the process. I hope he believes in the process and in how important it is for his sons to grow step by step until they can reach the top. I don't think Lacob is going to act like the Buss family, giving roles of power to his sons without them been groomed in the previous roles.
jerry west was the one that stopped the klay thompson trade and it wasn’t for towns it was for kevin love
1:50 😭😭
Never knew you can make it in the HOF just for defence ...
9:31 😂😂😂
Mad Dog got them BIG mad this morning lmao
JJ wants to be a coach or gm one day so he always sides with the players and organizations. Bob Myers dissed Kd right after they won that ring and is half of the reason KD left. And mark Jackson gets no credit and doesn't have a coaching job??? That stuff is all politics and who you know like JJ said. MADD DOGG won this segment
The fact that Mark Jackson can't get a job is ridiculous.
What is being overlooked is, Bob Myers is responsible for putting together the Warriors' bench players each year. As Shaq said, "It's the others that wins championships". Myers has made the art of finding gems cheap look so incredibly easy that it is consistently overlooked.
Wow, the 7th and 11th draft picks wow haha
I'm with Mad Dog on this one. He was inherited the best backcourt in NBA history all he had to do was not mess it up.
Chris you sound so stupid bro
To say “all he has to do is not mess it up” is such a non educated lazy thought process. Cause anyone with two ears and a brain should be able to comprehend that it’s more to it than that but whatever
You probably do not watch the Warriors very close so I get how you could think that way. They do not beat the cavs for the first ring without Igudala and Harrison Barnes (who Myers got) They may not have won the next two rings without K>D> (who Myers got) They dont get 4th ring without Payton Jr. Wiggins and Poole(who Myers got) Myers drafted Kevon Looney with a late pick. So maybe Steph and Clay never win a ring without Bob Myers (and definitely don't win 4)
this!
@@josephgonsalves755 You are literally just going to give every credit to Meyers as if he was responsible for every pick when it was clear who came to recruit KD in the first place and had nothing to do with a relationship with Meyers. JJ tried to make the argument as well and it shows the lazy way of thinking. A sort of well the dynasty happened so everyone associated is the great. Nah, for sure you can call Steph the greatest PG or the greatest shooter ever. From there everything is debatable and so that's why there is debate.
I blame Bob Myers for not taking Lamelo, I’m sorry
It was a CoVid season so you had no tape on almost any prospects, EXCEPT THE INTERNET SENSATION WE BEEN SEEING FOR 5 YEARS
Don't really watch sports like that but this pop up and I just had to comment to receive me some points.
Mad Dogg is absolutely right, let’s not forget Bob Myers let key pieces that JJ talked about go to give Jordan Poole “the Bag.” Drafted Wisemen to later trade him for a former undrafted player in GP2. Myers is pretty much the reason the Warriors are in this shitty situation. Completely overrated.
4 rings
@@sirjimssirjims9047 and Kevin love has made the finals every year hes been in the playoffs...but does that mean it's because of him? Numbers don't tell the entire truth
In all fairness, the Wiseman trade was necessary but yeah considering where he was drafted it feels like a waste. But honestly I think Wiseman was gonna go anyway. Regardless, They should not have given Poole the bag. They should’ve focused on developing Kuminga and Moody cuz they actually fill voids when they play with the starting core, making Wiggins more of a #2 option instead of a #4 option, and then maybe go get a rim protector with that money they gave Poole. Poole is reckless and sure he can go drop 40 every now and then but so can a guy like Cam Thomas…he doesn’t help them do anything. So I agree with Mad Dogg on this one as well.
@@a_boat93if the Warriors had Wiseman instead of GP2 they wouldn’t have been so small against LA.
@@Jarel_317 true….however Wiseman’s biggest issue is not his offense; it’s his defense. He’s often late defensively, mistimes contests, gets lost in defensive rotations. Having him against the Lakers wouldn’t have made a single difference outside of more free throws for the Lakers cuz of fouls. His rebounding is even subpar for being as big as he is; I consider Looney a better rebounder despite being 5-6” shorter.
Mad Dogg was holding his own, but I think JJ finished with a subtle but very important point… “he couldn’t get great/high picks because they were constantly WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS”😂 why did they win championships, because of all the subtle moves that he made that JJ pointed out
Y'all should be talking about why Bob Meyers left
I kind of want to start counting how many times Stephen A says “____ of the world”
To be fair yes, Bob deserves credit but as a GM if money is not an issue bc your owner is electing to spend the most money in order to win than yes your job is that much easier. He’s made great turn around trades like Wiggins but we can’t refute the fact that Lacob was willing to spend any amount to win.
Mad dog make this show must see UA-cam, lol.
Obviously the best example is Krause I’m Chicago, he didn’t draft MJ but made great moves after the fact. Still a hall of famer but didn’t draft the key cog.
With how complex the NBA is and NBA personalities and contracts are, takes like Doggy’s is the issue. You can’t just try to funnel everything into 1 facet (draft picks). There’s a lot more involved and for those things, that’s why Bob Myers deserves his flowers
It’s not “squash the notion…” it’s “quash”
Agree with mad dog on this topic.
Jerry West stopped that Klay trade, KD wanted to play with Steph and Klay because he liked the way they played and Iggy said it multiple times that he wanted to play with the Warriors he never mentioned Myers. Kerr just finished what Mark Jackson started.
Bob Myers is a sorry GM for running away from the mess he created. Everyone is overpaid except Steph so to keep his resume clean of “4 championships in 8 years” because he knows last year’s championship was most likely the last Warriors championship in the new era of Management rules. “Stepping away to spend more time with family” 💀 bro forgot he was management and thought he was a player on the road for 8 months of the year 😂 💀🤡
Why do SAS always say that Draymond is a HOF player 🤔? Am I wrong for asking?
Bob Myers deserves his credit but drafting isn’t the end all be all either. Your scout team does most of that work.
We gonna ignore the fact that Myers was the one that got Wiggins with the ridiculous contract and gave Poole the insane extension?
