much longer he could go right after the 2019 nba finals. >> my hope is. those relationships last a long, long time. if they don't, it's too bad of a scrooge sum up because what's the point of 12 years? if you walk away, you don't have those. i don't i don't understand that there's some people like those guys. that's a long time to work with someone and to accomplish what we did. so. it's a it's a bittersweet when they're not going to sit here and tell you, i understand it because i don't. tonight inside. it's not in me to do that so competitive. and i know he's too. it's really hard thing for me to understand why. it's really not for me to understand why it's wanted to se happy going to miss. i'm incredibly. i'm i wish success on the success of the world and whatever he decides to do. >> so with the departure of bob myers, many people wonder who will be his successor?

well, joe lake up kept that close to the vest today. the 2h names that have begun to circulate are mike dunn, levy's junior and joe son, kirk. there's also guys like shaun livingston who have spent a lot of time in the organization lake up, didn't rule out, bringing someone in from the outside either. but at the end of the day, no matter who holds the gm title, no matter which players on the court lake upset. the goal remains the same >> it doesn't matter if they're here. they're not here. there's a lot of pressure our job is to win championships. and i'm going expect that we're going to expect that. this year next year, 3 years from now, 5 years from now. that's just you know, there's no point in doing this. if you're not trying to win the championship. no point. >> now, through all of this, the warriors are still prepping for the nba draft today. they worked out former usf don kelly. osha buys joe

biden is the all-time leading 3 point shooter at usf in his 4th all time on the scoring list. he helped lead the don back to the ncaa tournament a few seasons ago this past season. he was first team all wcc. all right. that is your look at sports. back to you guys. all right, jason, thank you for that. using goats to help combat wildfires could soon be a thing of the past. in california. >> state agency has ruled the current way companies pay goat herders is no longer allow and ground force. noelle bellow explains that the goat grazing company say they for the change. >> it's about that time of year where goats across california to send our hills to munch on freshly grown grass and shrubs. you have. >> our goats grazing some of the tall grasses and weeds that could potentially be fuel for or >> wildfires. the goats are able to get to areas that are hard to access while trying to

reduce the risks of the upcoming dry fire season. it's a much more sustainable approach. you know, there's no emissions. this know. >> fuel oil. the demand has grown year after year after year, california is probably the largest state that does go crazy and or >> some kind of fuels abatement. >> but come january 2024, goat hurting companies may no longer be able to a ford offering such a service. tim aerosmith's company, western grazers employs 7 goat herders from peru under the h 2, a visa program for temporary farm workers as herders are paid about $4,000 a month and they don't have to pay for food, housing or phones. but new state labor regulations will put goat grazing in line with the same labor laws as other farm workers. and according to the california farm bureau, the changes could raise the salary of herders to $14,000 a month. and so while

the state of california is funding these measures, i think it also has a responsibility to make sure that the workers were associated with it are being abused. companies typically put about one heard or in charge of 400 goats and their jobs require them to be on call. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. >> because of that companies have been allowed to pay the herders a monthly minimum salary rather than an hourly minimum wage. >> aerosmith says if yes to drastically raise his rates, the necessary service would become unaffordable. >> we cannot fix the current legislation. we will be forced to sell these goats to slaughter and will be forced out of business and probably file for what's at stake for the public is your house could burn up because we can't fire me >> hurting companies have sued over the new overtime law and they're hoping to get it reversed. fletcher, who heads the california labor federation says goat herders are among the most vulnerable workers in america and need to be treated fairly in the
