I agree with this. They had no clue before the logo arrived.
He comes around and tells them they are spinning their wheels with Blake and the rest of lob city.
Once he is gone, they will not have that legendary exec working his magic. |

Too bad the Buss family wasn't smart/gracious enough to not let JW leave in the first place, and work hard to get him back in the second. I'm not sure how big a deal Ryan is, but it's clear how big a deal Pops is.
That's ok, we still have Jeanie and The Rambii to solve it all. Only six years since our last playoff appearance. In all the decades prior, the worst playoff drought was two years. |

Was Golden State stupid in firing The Logo?

First off, iirc I don't recall he was fired, I thought it was mutually agreed and he was with the Clips like 5 minutes later.
But secondly, I'll answer your question with a question. Are you satisfied with the direction of this org under the leadership of Jeanie and the Rambii? |

Unanswerable since they didn’t fire him.

Jerry West: 'I did not want to leave' the Warriors
https://uproxx.com/dimemag/jerry-west-warriors-book-leaving-clippers/
Warriors cut West's salary by 50%
https://clutchpoints.com/jerry-west-on-leaving-warriors-one-of-the-saddest-days-of-his-life/
West said leaving GSW was "one of the saddest days in my life."
Sure looks like they forced him out - cut his role, cut his salary, etc.
2. Your "question" neither addresses nor answers my question, so I will restate it:
Was Golden State stupid in reducing West's role, cutting his salary in half and forcing him out?

Yes, of course. We'll see how they fare going forward as their guys get older and more beat up and they have to retool.
So how do you feel about Jeanie and the Rambii? |

"Fired" isn't quite the right word. He was hired at a high salary to mentor their GM, Bob Myers. As Myers got more experience, West wasn't as important, and the Warriors wanted to cut his salary in half. West felt upset and underappreciated and left.
I am not sure what term fits the situation best, but it was an unhappy parting, as West's partings usually are. |

So rather than saying "yes" or "no," so I can make sure I know where you stand and continue the dialog, you get snarky.
I'll just let it go.

Yes. |
Why? |
His record says it all.
He's a great basketball mind. Even if he's not making day-to-day basketball decisions, his input is valuable. |

| Cutting someone's salary in half is more offensive than just firing them outright, imo. It's basically like either eat our (bleep) or get out. |

Definite conflict of interest. Maybe that is why he “stepped down” (let go) |
