Bob Myers has a message for Warriors fans regarding JaVale McGee trade rumors

Warriors fans are freaking out a little bit right now.

JaVale McGee, one of Dub Nation's favorite players, is on the trade block. Multiple league sources confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole on Tuesday that the Warriors have spoken with teams, including the Milwaukee Bucks, about a deal for McGee.

On Wednesday, GM Bob Myers was asked on 95.7 The Game about the possibility of trading McGee. Naturally, he didn't want to comment, but he briefly spoke to Warriors fans.

"I can't do [talk about trade rumors]. It doesn't make sense for me or JaVale or for our team or for the Milwaukee Bucks or anybody to talk about that publicly. I hope the fans understand. Just judge us on what we actually do or don't do, not on what we're rumored to do or not do," Myers said.

Myers also addressed McGee's role going forward with the Warriors.

"He was a pro last year. He went through periods were he wasn't playing. I think he's been a pro this year, meaning, it's not always going to swing your way. But one thing I think our players appreicate about Steve [Kerr], and which is something I appreciate working with him, is that he's very communicative, he's honest. He'll go to a player before a game and say 'Look, this isn't a good matchup for you.' You saw Zaza Pachulia being available for Cleveland and Steve started Jordan Bell and didn't play Zaza and Zaza is starting tonight. So for JaVale, I think the fact that he's experienced being in and out of the rotation serves him well. And Steve Kerr is not an agenda guy, he's not a play favorites guy. You can be in the rotation. You can be out of it," Myers said.
