Winning multiple NBA Championships in the league is not an easy task by any means, but that’s what makes the team worthy of being called a dynasty. The Golden State Warriors achieved that status by winning four NBA Championships in the last eight years.
The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green deserve a lot of credit for the success, but it wouldn’t have been possible without general manager Bob Myers. On that note, a recent report by Heavy Sports suggests that Myers could leave the Warriors after this season.
“Bob has had to work both sides,” a Western Conference GM Heavy Sports. “He has been trying to do that really since Kevin Durant left. There is a vision of, let’s win championships and have a bunch of young players we can develop, too, and the vision of, let’s give away all the young guys and get guys who can help us win now because Steph and Klay and Draymond are getting old. You have ownership on one side, they want the young players, they want to think about the future and the tax bills. And you have coaches and players on the other side. Bob is in the middle.”
Due to the Warriors’ struggles this season, the source believes, Myers may end up parting ways with the team after more than a decade of service.
“That does not last in the NBA or in any job, right? Eventually, there are going to be different interests,” the source said. “And he is in the middle, getting pulled in different directions. He was important in building that, so of course, you’d like to see him stay and just be a fixture there. But he is going to have opportunities to go just about anywhere he wants and be given some power where he is not being tugged in different directions.”
The Golden State Warriors are currently 36-33 in the Western Conference and hold the fifth seed. While the Dubs have been sensational at home, they have one of the worst records on the road.
If the Warriors do not have a great playoff run this season, it could essentially mean Myers’ tenure with the team could end.
Bob Myers Is Yet To Sign A Contract Extension With The Warriors
Bob Myers is one of the most crucial pieces in the Golden State Warriors organization. Over the years, he has done everything in his power to make sure the Dubs stay competitive in the NBA.
Despite that, it was earlier reported that the Warriors and Myers are yet to reach an agreement to sign a contract extension. Myers is currently in the last few months of his contract with the franchise.
If Myers is all set to leave the Warriors after this season, it could mean this is the Dubs’ ‘Last Dance.’ The aftereffect of Myers’ departure could impact the future of the Curry, Thompson, and Green trio. After all, Myers is the glue that has held the core of the Warriors together and shown complete support for them over the years.
