Bob Myers discusses toughest decision involving Andre Iguodala trade
Summary

Bob Myers, former president of basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors, revealed in a recent podcast that trading Andre Iguodala was his most challenging decision while with the team. Myers made the trade in order to sign D’Angelo Russell, sending Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies despite his contributions to the Warriors' three championships. He noted the difficulty of communicating the trade to Iguodala, who was placed in a non-competitive situation. Following the trade, Iguodala reached another NBA Finals with the Miami Heat and later returned to the Warriors for additional seasons. The discussion highlighted the long-term ramifications of that trade, leading to the acquisition of Andrew Wiggins during the subsequent Russell trade.
