Warriors president of basketball operations Bob Myers, whose contract expires at the end of next month, “plans to take a couple of weeks” to determine what he wants to do in the future, telling ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that he’s “torn” on returning largely due to his close relationships with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and head coach Steve Kerr (Twitter video link).
That aligns with a recent report from Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, who heard from sources that Myers was going to take some time before coming to a decision.
One interesting part of Shelburne’s report that got lost in the shuffle was that owner Joe Lacob pitched lucrative contract offers to Myers that would have given him the flexibility to take time off if he so desired. Reading between the lines, it’s clear that the team is well aware of Myers’ career uncertainty.
Myers is the most likely of that longtime core group to depart the Warriors, sources tell Marc Stein in his latest article at Substack. There’s a “strong expectation” within the organization that if Myers doesn’t re-sign, he’s more likely to take “at least” the 2023/24 season off to spend time with family rather than join a rival front office, according to Stein.
A two-time Executive of the Year, Myers is a former college basketball player (UCLA) and sports agent who has been an executive with the Warriors since 2011, winning four championships. A recent report from The Athletic indicated that VP of basketball operations Mike Dunleavy Jr. may take over for Myers if he decides not to return.
The same Bob Meyers who was “shedding tears” when he had to tell the media Durant tore his Achillies during the 2019 playoffs? Lol, what a pathetic acting job. His eyes were as dry as a bone.
I don’t believe one thing he says. “Torn” to return to GSW? He was posturing before to get KD to stay just like he’s posturing to get more $$$ from Lacob.
He did a terrible job the whole year
Poole contract
Need 2 additional good big men, everyone knows
You don’t need to agree with me
5 worst GMs this year July 1 2022 to present
Warriors
76ers
Raptors
Blazers
Mavs
I may not need to agree with you, but I think I do. Perhaps the Timberwolves and Hornets are worthy of discussion in that bottom 5, as well.
GSW def not the worst, but definitely a fail (no title). Def because of Kerr. If Myers goes, Kerr does too, and GSW will never lose again.
Bob, like everyone else with a pulse, can read the writing on the wall. An embarrassing season with a rotting core. Warriors are cooked. He wants to go somewhere where he has a chance to win.
Oh, and not being worried about getting punched in the face by your own coworkers probably doesn’t hurt.
“Warriors are cooked”
Yea this the same narrative in 2021. What happened in 2022?
Where’s my money?
Every last word you write is a pure lie. Why are you even here? Worthless presence, just wrong especially after you were spouting identical crud to this in 2021. All you do is fake news. Steph, Klay and Dray are on fire, not rotting. Kerr is the only problem.
Karma will bite you, remember this.
Steph, clay and dray are on fire? I guess that sun in Cancun must be pretty hot lmao!
Bro put them in cap heII and is going to dip lmao
He also constructed a roster that won 4 titles, so it’s not like he put them in cap hell for no reason
They had 4 titles before Jordan Poole got that ridiculous contract
Poole had a higher PPG this season than last and you are acting like he’s the worst player in the league – your analysis is bad.
Gotta love how when its MVP talk with Curry its “wahh its reg season only that matters, Curry winning a ring doesnt matter about MVP” but when it comes to the postseason you suddenly act like 5 games = the entire reg season. Bad take.
No team has worked over the NBA better than GSW in regards to working the markets than Meyers
The Dlo shuffle should be taught in business schools around the country
The Kd move was a masterstroke
Them getting value on Iggy ( w help from their internal hype machine) and then him circling back soon after on a vet min was just clowning
Bob did things the last decade that other teams will be trying to emulate next decade.
Let’s not get in too deep into the Poole whiff
Getting KD to make a coward move then getting DLo for him isn’t some master plan lmao. You think they are unique for wanting Kevin f’n Durant? Iggy stunk after 2019 and had to tie a 1st just to trade him. He got paid the vet minimum to ride the bench past two seasons.
Zoom out and look at the whole picture
This front office wrote the book in live time the last decade on how to flex its pockets to full potential. Many have tried, few have succeeded
Gave Poole a max and drafted Wiseman #2 overall. Their book is drafting well 14 years ago
Wiseman and Poole are both star players in this league. You are writing them off stupid early to make a pathetic argument. L.
Calling Poole a star is hilarious and the epitome of how easy it is to get called a star now a days. At best he’s a spark off the bench. Will never be the go to guy on a championship team. And the Warriors themselves gave up on Wiseman. Dude is mediocre
Dude is an absolute legend who doesn’t deserve the hate. All those rings mean something and you’ve gotta pay down the line if you win them. You may not give him too much credit but he made a ton of savvy moves outside of retaining his guys and getting KD for those two titles. You’ve gotta pay the piper at some point and the warriors are looking at a few years that will be hard to rebuild or to reload. But 4 rings are worth it. JFC.
I mean, can you blame him if he’s looking ahead and doesn’t think it’ll be compelling to be over the cap (meaning not able to sign free agents), not bad enough to have early picks, AND probably not good enough to be a legitimate title contender? All those championships need to be celebrated and he has earned the right to make his own decisions. He is under no obligation to anyone besides his family.
I know this is the Internet and we are supposed to be haters come on.
gotta know when to walk away.
Bob Myers is one of the most overated GMs in the game. Kuminga and Wiseman were busts. Jordan Poole contract was awful. Let Harrison Barnes walk. Resigned Klay Thompson who he knew was going to be out long term, who was then out for almost 3 years. Signed Draymond to one of the worst contracts I’ve ever seen. KD was brought on because Draymond begged him, not because Bob Myers persuaded him.
Myers will move on. He will get paid the same elsewhere if not more. He needs fresh start and Warriors are a big mess with too many opinions.
