Fans believe two leaders within the Golden State Warriors were seen arguing just before their first-round selection was announced.
Golden State held the 11th overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft and there was much debate about which direction they could go.
It seems some of that debate may have extended to within the team’s facility as fans seem to believe that owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy were arguing.
When the ESPN broadcast of the draft cut to inside the Golden State war room, Lacob and Dunleavy were seen in the corner of the screen.
The two appeared to be having a tense discussion as Lacob could be seen saying something forcefully to his GM.
Fans speculated what was said and mocked the Warriors for the situation.
