For months, Joe Lacob and the Warriors have been trying to extend Bob Myers, their president. Except that for months, the architect of the Bay dynasty has been rejecting offers, and nothing has progressed.
According to The Athleticthe franchise is now very seriously considering the possibility that it will lose its GM, in place since 2012. Former agent (Brandon Roy, Tyreke Evans, Kendrick Perkins…), Bob Myers indeed seems to want to turn the page, manage a franchise , even when she wins titles, not being easy.
Golden State, however, seems ready to make a golden bridge to Bob Myers, to make him one of the highest paid leaders in the NBA, but the 48-year-old man is very courted.
Also according to The Athletic, Bob Myers would have received offers from private investment funds and other professional sports leagues, at higher salaries than those offered by the Warriors. The leader also seems interested in the media world, as he launched his podcast.
The vagueness of his future is in any case (another) thorn in the side of the club, before an extremely busy summer with Draymond Green who could become a free agent, and Klay Thompson who is awaiting a contract extension…
“Our organization has a lot to sort out this summer”confirmed Steve Kerr. “My contractual situation is not, and should not be, at the top of the list. For now, Bob’s contract situation is the priority because it influences many decisions regarding players, contracts, draft, free agency. We will take care of my case when necessary and I am in no rush to do so”.
In case of departure, it is Mike Dunleavy Jr. who should take over from Bob Myers as GM of the club.
