As far as his front-office duties are concerned, he mentions, “I had an opportunity to stay around the game you know coaching or uh…front office and so I chose the front office life and, just having a young family wanting to be there for the kids, watch them grow up. So…you know it’s my third year doing it and I’m enjoying being around the game.”

His trajectory,  however, takes a turn mentioning the Draymond-Jordan incident and how it rebounded across the locker room. He says, “This year with the incident Draymond-Jordan, right, some of that trust was lost. And it ricocheted throughout the locker room with Draymond just you guys know his presence.”

Livingston makes it pretty clear that Draymond punching Jordan has spread negative vibes, affecting the team spirit.

He further goes on to mention how the team has fully reached its maximum potential. He says, “The team is pretty much maxed up what it had from the standpoint of energy.”

Veterans leaving Stephen Curry and the team behind

Behind the scenes, all the major and minor controversies are scarring the team’s morale and spirit. Adding fuel to the fire, the team recently lost Bob Myers, the Warriors’ General Manager, who plays a crucial role within the team. He’s responsible for controlling rosters, leading the team to achieve four championship titles, and reaching finals six times. Without a doubt, Myers’ presence is a blessing to the Warriors. The team’s ability to cope with his departure is surely a major bump in everyone’s career trajectory right now.

With veterans like Myers, who’re extremely crucial to the fabric of the team leaving, the Warriors seem to be under a spell of threat. Losing him has brought to surface many questions, including his substitute, keeping the team together, and future championships.
