Myers was recently quoted in a report where he discussed in detail his working relationship with Ainge and also revealed how he discussed signing Curry during his days in the office.

"Ainge recommended me for the [Warriors] job," said Myers. "I owed it to Ainge, I owed my career to him, so I can't be upset with Ainge. We just laughed [about Ainge trying to acquire Curry], we have a great relationship, so it was funny, but you got to ask. Everybody knew that wasn't happening, so it was kind of a good laugh."
