D'Angelo Russell: "A lot of guys have been here. You name the Tracy McGradys, the Amar'e Stoudemires, the Michael Beasleys, There's so many guys that have come over here and got to just hoop. For me, I think what Stephon Marbury did was something that I really want to try to inspire to be, and if not even better. You know, when you treat people right on the way, and I think that will leave my legacy behind in a way that I could never even imagine."
Bob Myers: "Trading Andre Iguodala, who had won three championships with the team, in 2019 to sign D'Angelo Russell. The way he took it, the professionalism, made it, as far as a player handling a tough thing, I've never seen one do it as well as he did in that moment. To call a guy that, when you talk about personal, making it personal, and to say we are trading you to Memphis, and he knew it was not a team that was trying to win. By the way, he ended up going to the Heat and going to the finals again after that. But Andre looked at me and he said, I understand. You got to do what you got to do. And it wasn't a bitter, I mean, of course I'm sure he felt a certain way, but it wasn't like it wasn't fair. It wasn't right. When you do things where a player does so much for you and your organization, and you make a decision where he deserved better."

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.”
