Answers by Bob Myers, General Manager and President of Basketball Operations, Golden State Warriors, on Quora.
A: We've been fortunate to have some good chemistry. Chemistry is something that takes time to develop. We are still in the nascent stages of having Kevin on our team. We feel confident that his addition will only add to the positive chemistry we've been able to develop over the last couple of years. We try to add as many good people in our organization as possible. We definitely feel that Kevin meets this criterion. It should be fun to see how we evolve over the course of the season.
A: Most people are not aware that the majority of agents are actually attorneys as well. Honing the ability to read a contract, negotiate a contract, and protect your clients legally are tools that agents use that most people may not be aware of.

The only thing that's different than a normal pickup game is that you don't trash talk.
