For former Warriors GM Bob Myers, one particular decision is the hardest he made during his Golden State tenure. “Trading [Andre] Iguodala,” Myers said on "Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady." “We had to trade Iguodala, who had won three championships with the team, in 2019 to sign D'Angelo Russell. And the way he took it, the professionalism, made it, as far as a player handling a tough thing, that I've never seen one do it as well as he did in that moment.”

Former teammate D'Angelo Russell wants to see Curry join a contender in the Eastern Conference to solidify his legacy. “I would love to see Stephen Curry go to Boston," said Russell on "The Backyard Podcast." "Yeah, I would love to see that. I just think he needs that type of help around him now. Who's taking the load off him in Golden State? The rookie? Healthy Jimmy (Butler)?”

D'Angelo Russell: "I would love to see Stephen Curry go to Boston. Boston? Yeah, I would love to see that. Just because I think he needs that type of help around him now. Like who who's taking the load off him in Golden State? The rookie? Is Jimmy? Oh yeah, healthy Jimmy. I think you have a veteran team that's going to know how to win the last three minutes of a game. They're going to know how to win. I just, just getting to the last three minutes is where they're going to struggle."

Guards D’Angelo Russell and AJ Johnson are not expected to remain with Memphis by the start of the upcoming season, league sources told HoopsHype. As noted above, Johnson has been mentioned in trade talks with the New Orleans Pelicans among other teams.

Theo Pinson: My second year. Kenny Atinson is my coach. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, all these guys just get there. We on a the path has changed. We in championship or bus mode at this point because you got bonafide guys. And it shifted so quickly. It took everybody a minute to get themselves together because like at first we had D'Angelo Russell, Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen. We were just in figuring it out. We just made the playoffs. We played Philly, blah blah blah. Everybody was like, "Yo, Brooklyn's on the way." Blah, blah, blah. And then these guys come. I'll never forget, bro. We played in Miami. I think we played the game and we had practice in Miami before we got on the plane. I don't know what the f*ck happened. I don't know. And I f*ck with Kenny Atkinson. That is my guy. He gave me opportunity. I f*ck with him. But I don't know what the f*ck happened, but Kenny was on one that day. This motherf*cker was going off. We were trying to run all types of sh*t like y'all know what Pistol is. Pistol is a like when you come down the court, guy sets like a flat screen on the sideline just to get the switch or whatever. People do it all the time in the playoffs just to get the matchups. And pretty much KD and them, they weren't really rocking all that like, ‘Hey, look, just give me the f*cking ball and all this shit.’ And we weren't, they weren't really running it, bro. Next thing you know, he flips the f*ck out. He's like, ‘Run the sh*t! I'm the f*cking coach! Run the sh*t.’ And everybody's like, “Oh sh*t.’ And I ain't he never seen it before. And he's yelling at superstars now? One game, he got an altercation in the huddle, the next morning he was gone. He got fired. That's when I was like, ‘Oh sh*t.’ The NBA is 1,000 percent a players’ league. (…) You don't talk to your star the same way you talk to everybody else.

Wizards GM Will Dawkins said team officials have been in contact with D'Angelo Russell’s representation and that Russell will not report to Washington “as we try to figure out what’s best for him and us and our future.” Russell has a player option for next season worth $6 million, but Dawkins’ comment appeared to indicate that the Wizards and Russell could reach a buyout agreement.
