[Highlight] Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy and owner Joe Lacob visibly disagree on what to do with the 11th overall pick.
It’s nice to see the Warriors in shambles
Even their pick is unc
No, their pick is from UofM
wonderful banter
lovely bit of business, lads.
Feels like they were trying to trade that pick and didn’t expect to still be holding onto it lol
Might have wanted a confirmed framework involving Ament for Murphy from the Pels and couldnt get it in time, and they didn’t want to be stuck holding Ament when they don’t actually want him
This would be the funniest possibility
That would be the funniest result here, nobody won the argument and both lost haha
Do people really think they just did no research at all on who they would get with their draft pick
I’m not saying they didn’t know who to pick or didn’t do research, I’m just saying they didn’t look like they were expecting to be holding the pick
Damn the Warriors really inflicted trauma on yall huh
In 8 years this sub will be like “It’s nice to see the Thunder in shambles”
The Thunder is good but they really arent traumatic good.
Warriors won 73 games then went and got KD. That shit was traumatic
You don’t need something to be traumatic for this sub to overstate something
That shit truly felt like a gunshot through the chest tho
Yeah, but this is true in this case.
This sub has been saying that for over a year at this point, not sure why you think it’d take 8 years to start.
The 7th most upvoted thing on this sub is literally thunder losing game 7. šš
Because they aren’t really in shambles right now. Those guys aren’t panicking.
okc has frp till 2032
https://fanspo.com/nba/teams/oklahoma-city-thunder/21/draft-picks
they’re not worried at all LOL
lol what. They are no where near the warriors level
you don’t really need anything to be warriors level for this sub to say something like that
Have you not seen this playoffs? The whole world was basically against OKC
You have no idea. My hatred will persist longer than I will.
Canāt believe you guys called yourselves Clutch City what a sick joke š
After what Steph has done to your franchise I canāt even blame yiu
Yes.
*Obglitory “Fuck KD”
If this video is “in shambles,” I’ll take it. Not only is this “argument” extremely tame… but we all have known for years that we’re going to bottom out for a few years post-Steph. We’ve won 4 chips in the last 20 years. I think we’ll be alright.
As a bulls fan be careful sayin thatā¦
Steph is our MJ, and this franchise went from bottom feeder to worth $10B on his back. He also helped keep the focus off of some poor roster decisions. Soon, they wonāt have Wardell there to outshine their mistakes. Scary times ahead, barring the league gifting us a number one pick in a no-brainer draft.
barring the league gifting us a number one pick in a no-brainer draft.
Even then the gods of knees are cruel
I mean considering what the warriors were for 20 years before that I think their fans will be OK.
20?!
More like 4 in 10ish years but your point still stands.
Golden Years Warriors
The worst thing an owner can do is get involved in roster decisions. It never ends well.Ā
Cleveland Browns fan here, ask me how I know this is the truth
Sacramento kings fan, what is it like? I wouldnāt know š®āšØ
Bro I associate Michigan players with Stauskas even now.
Sauce Castillo!
NIK ROCKS
Oh ya know, just endless disappointment, not that you would know anything about that right?
Disapp- is that who yāall just drafted? Never heard of them.
Funny thing is your owner wanted luka but your gm said nah š
Broken clocks tend to be right twice a day
Stauskas?
Glad that guy doesnt own an NBA team. That team might make a series of bad decisions leading the best player in franchise history to leave for a warmer climate like what happened with Garrett.
Dear god I forgot that he had ownership in the Bucks. Dude manages to fuck up everything he touches, ill pray for yall
Appreciate it. I’m sure we’ll suck until he dies or sells, but at least we got the one championship before he showed up. Lets hope both teams will be rid of him soon.
Jimmy Haslam is a cancer on sports and I hope he gets cut out soon, fully with you. It’d be better for everyone.
*Jimmy Haslam is a cancer.
How can you even watch that team anymore? I have no idea why everyone in Cleveland still loves the browns.
Even when the Cavs are in the ECF and Guardians look good- itās still all about the browns on 92.3 and all Cleveland sports shows/radio. God, I hate the fucking browns.
Its mostly a born into it thing, im not a fan of what they did with deshaun tho, we love to take prison picks and hope they turn into something. I hate our ownership, they’ve just tossed the franchise around at their will for 20 years.
My family finally gave up on them after being huge fans forever. Just stop supporting those fucking idiots. Our other teams deserve the passion and love, fuck the browns. They are an absolutely garbage organization and donāt deserve any of our business.
To be fair I was a season ticket holder and cancelled immediately, I rarely watch anymore its just an excuse on some sundays to turn on football. Fuck them, I agree, I try not to support in any way I can but I have the disability of caring for my local football team.
Milwaukee bucks fan and I hate your/our owner
At least you can sleep at night knowing your NFL team’s owner also owns one of your NBA division rivals
We know. He’s involved in everything that went wrong with our picks lol
Hey, Joe Lacob took a chance and hired a kid out of college with no experience, who rose through the ranks to become their Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations. That kidās name? Kirk Lacob.
True underdog story
He should write a childrenās book on how to overcome the odds.
InspirationalĀ
Fukin highlarious.Ā
Wiseman three timelines boogaloo

Nic rocks!
Wizards suck (for now?), but at least Ted sticks mostly with hockey, and that clip always make me laugh. I send it to my friends to say it could be worse.
I remember that to this day.
Crazy the owner pushed that one lol
FWIW, Magic was Jerry Buss pick. Jerry West wanted Sidney Moncrief. Worth noting that was Buss’ first year as owner too.
Jerry west was the coach at the time not the GM. West didnāt want magic because they already had Norm Nixon at the point, a pretty good player.
Then Jerry west stopped being the coach, and the guy that replaced him just played Norm and Magic together, 2 point guards and they won a ring
We say that and then we have the Luka trade.
I do think owners shouldn’t meddle, but being involved isn’t necessarily a bad thing. GMs are usually on a timer and if you give them full reign they would absolutely sacrifice the future to buy them an extra season or two.
Sometimes its the opposite
Dont ask me how i know:(
what if the owner is light years ahead?
Lacob probably wants a straight from high-school uber athletic player with a high projected “ceiling” over a solid proven guy that can help the team now.
Yeah, why employ a General Manager if you’re not going to let them generally manage the roster?
ya man you can totally tell they are disagreeing by a zoomed out video with zero audio
It said they were visibly disagreeing. Didn’t say anything about audibly
Dunleavy was asking Lacob whoās on first?
Whatās on second.
That gesture from Lacob felt more like a “ok, I guess so” rather than a “wtf man”
Yeah, I think this was their calculated fallback plan after not being able to engineer whatever trade they otherwise wanted.
Owner shouldnāt be in the room. Thatās your first problem.
I said no pickles. No itās fine, did you remember to tell them or did they fuck it up? I can just take them off
I meanā¦ you definitely can, sarcasm or not
Yeah man. Ā You totally could.Ā
Exactly. Every mock had them taking who they selected. This draft went pretty much how people thought a month ago.
I doubt they are surprised at this moment who to select. This should gave been agreed upon weeks ago since it was not any surprises ahead of them.
Get out of here, KD ā¦ theyāre not taking you back!
Jake Fischer said they were fielding offers for the pick so maybe this was the disagreement
There were reports they had trades lined up based on how things unfolded
They took so long to announce the pick and then this, I was sure they were trading the pick
Disputes almost always come down to trade offers and deciding if its worth it or not so I would be surprised if the argument was exclusively about players and nothing else.
These owners gotta be so frustrating to work with. See flair
Stauskas
Didn’t Vivek want to pick Luka but was overruled by Vlade?
Yeah I donāt think overruled is the right word. Convinced, yes. How you gonna overrule the owner?
Yeah I agree. But I appreciate lacob willing to spend a lot of money to build the best team the money can buy but lately he became so involved in the roster decision it’s frustrating.
True
Damn Yaxel is older then Kuminga
Holy shit. Transfer era is hilarious
eh also a leftover from the covid eligibility stuff. i think we’re done with 5-year players now?
24 when the season starts, wow.
They’re in win now mode despite the fact that they very much will not be winning anything higher than a first round exit
Can someone tell the front office this?
We aren’t going to make the playoffs.
First round is generous
This is like deja vu of Chris Duarte. Hell they are even both dominicans. Duarte had a superb rookie season, Warriorās fans should only hope.
Only a year younger than Edwards and he’s been in the league for 6 seasons lol
Warriors heard all the heat for two timelines and now make a point of drafting guys who aren’t on their parents’ insurance
Holy shit
I am now incredibly into Kuminga.
Oh this is not good
If Joe Lacob is unhappy i’d say there is an above 50% chance it is good.
This is the correct take. If we’re doing the opposite of what Lacob wants then chances are it’s the right move.
Has he been right about any roster move?
He was right about Jeremy Lin and wanting to keep him.
Ok Iāll give him that one. Jeremy Lin in the bay would have been sick.
Dana white is a proper sausage, but he has said the worst celebrity heās ever interacted with is Joe Lacob and it makes total sense
idk, he’s alright as far as NBA owners go. spent all that luxury tax to keep the core for as long as he could. seems to do a lot for the fans. then again, i have no idea what he’s like in person
He spends, but heās way too hands-on and egotistical. Heās the reason they ignored the FO and drafted Wiseman and Kuminga with their lottery picks and hoarded their draft picks for years hoping that Giannis would come.
literally every mock draft had Wiseman in the top 3.
Sure but Bob Myers and Steve Kerr were against Wiseman from what I’ve read, and the people doing the mock drafts didn’t get to see Wiseman workout for the warriors, they did.
Myers is literally on record saying he got the guy he wanted.
that makes sense…but i assume steph curry was onboard with those decisions
I canāt remember who said it, but curry wanted them to trade #2 and #7 for a star so that the team could stay competitive after KD was gone.
steph curry being on board with it doesn’t make it a good decision tbf
Celebrity?! š
Thatās the problem. Team owners who think they are celebrities and want attention
Hard to imagine anyone’s opinion who I would value less than that little wife beater
when did he say that
Definitely what you want to see happening right at draft time
I’m sure this happens all the time, just not always captured on video
Am I watching the right clip? This interaction is literally just 2 people having an animated discussion… which happens all the time in front offices. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading these comments.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of the narrative. There’s what happened and then, there’s what reddit wants to believe happened.
It is if you’re in the Pacific division
looks pretty normal. you guys never have any arguments in your jobs?
And people say itās a good pick lol Iām telling you itās a weird pick but will see if Yaxel helps
They shouldāve broken out Rock, Paper, Scissors
i think a good ole fashioned thumb war would have been better
Where i come from we call it quartz parchment shears
Reminds me of when we drafted Penix after signing Kirk for $100M and it cut to our draft room and our GM looks like heās explaining to our owner wtf he just did lol
Oh I remember that
I think Penix was a good pick at the time but why did they bother signing Cousins
To beat Tampa a couple times in Kirktober baby
I donāt think they expected Penix to be available at 8
Lacob was hopeful MDJ would tradw this pick for Kuminga
Two timelines again?
Three timelines
And to show you we’re serious, we have four timelines now
yaxel old enough to fit on the steph timeline
at least they didnāt draft an 18 year old
Light years ahead
TALK YOUR SHIT MONEY MIKE. DONT LET THAT BUM ASS OWNER WASTE ANOTHER LOTTERY PICK
Hell yes!
We let Lacob pick Kuminga and Wiseman. If hes less than thrilled, good.
Poor Smiley. All but forgotten.
āWait HOW old is this guyā????
Esilarante a dire il vero
This doesnāt look that bad.Ā
As the owner, whats the point of hiring a GM if you want to be one
So when you fuck up, you can fire someone as a decoy.
I’m a lipreader, he says “fuck you fuck you get lost”
then the other guy calls the cops on him
STAUSKUS?!
Can someone explain this reference/joke? Iāve seen a few times tonight. Is it about Staus going 8th in 2014?
All I remember is a video of The Kings owner being told about other guys to draft, but he can’t get over a viral video of Stauskas making like 100 three pointers in a row. Every front office employee was like “not a great pick” but they took Stauskas and they traded him within a year.
As a Michigan fan, let me add some perspective, most of us thought Nik was going to have a career like Duncan Robinson has had. He’s kind of a cautionary tale of listening to owners who operate off vibes vs front office employees who actually know ball.
This sub: hate click bait takes from talking heads
Also this sub:
We donāt know anything from this audioless clip
Light years probably wanted Ament ššš
Doubt it’s simply who to pick if they’ve had this long. For all we know this could be something about a potential trade being lost and now pivoting to something else. Lot of speculation.
Iām a Warriors fan who hates UofM. I think they made the perfect pick to meet their needs.
Fuck off joe
Well whichever one didn’t want to take Yaxel should get blood work done to check to lead levels.
Lacob: What? You want pineapple?!! Seriously? Like on the pizza for everyone?
Dunleavy: Yeah, Ham and Pineapple. What’s wrong with pineapple? I like pineapple. I’ll call it in.
That’s about as exact as this audio-less video shows me.
Which timeline is this for
I wonder whether Bucks fans will still hate Mike Dunleavy now that Giannis is gone.
Yes, fuck that guy
Noted basketball genius Joe Lacob
Thank god MDJ had the stones to stand his ground.Ā
Oh so NO ONE knows what they are doing? This can be also applied toā¦ whatever the Giants are doing.
Oh shit lol
What players in the NBA is Yaxel older than that make you go wait what?
He’s older than Josh Giddey by about 2 weeks.
Giddey will be starting his 6th season in October.
Heās 6 days older than Kuminga
They were disagreeing where to order food from.
They signed a dude whoās gonna be 30 in six years ššš
Even worse, he’s gonna be 31 in 7 years. And 32 the year after.
Stop the count!
This is fake. I was there in the room and they were arguing about food orders. Mikes crazy ass wanted loaded nachos and Joe told him he was going to get the nachos all over the laptop and tablets and said to get a sandwich or a nice pasta.
It looks a lot hotter than it really was.
Fuk Joe Lacob.
Let the people do their god damn jobs.
Fuck Mike Dunleavy Junior.
How do we know that? They had a plan A, B and C made already days ago surely.
Oh this is BAD lmao
Bob Myers GOAT status is shooting up year by year smh
Warriors are cooked no matter what they do
If they got the pick Lacob wanted, they screwed up again
LIGHT YEARS AHEAD
Thought MDJ was gonna get fired there.
Damn how many people they need
Where is the visible disagreement though?
This video makes it look like a nothing burger. No sound, no real onsite either. Downvote
