If the contractual situation of Draymond Green, potentially free agent in 2023, risks representing the future saga of the summer in Golden State, another file might well punctuate the next few months in the Bay. President of basketball operations Bob Myers will actually be out of contract in June.
It was Adrian Wojnarowski who swung the info last night: Bob Myers is currently in the last year of his contract with the Warriors and has still not been extended by them. The insider ofESPN tells us that discussions between the Golden State manager and the Bay franchise have taken place, but they are currently at a standstill.

If Bob Myers has still not been extended, it is not the will that is lacking on the side of the Warriors. Golden State owner Joe Lacob has made it clear he wants Myers to stay in San Francisco. At the same time, we’re talking regarding a man who won Executive of the Year twice (in 2015 and 2017) following turning Golden State into a veritable war machine.
Became general manager of Dubs in 2012 (following a year as assistant GM), Myers notably showed a fine nose in the Draft of that year (Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes, Festus Ezeli), before recruiting Andre Iguodala in 2013 in an attempt to maximize the potential of Splash Brothers Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. The arrival of coach Steve Kerr a year later made the Warriors take off, not to mention the signing of several veterans (Shaun Livingston, Leandro Barbosa in particular) bringing great depth to the workforce symbolized by the slogan “Strength in Numbers”.
The rest, you know, is a first title in 2015, a record season with 73 wins (but lost in the 2016 NBA Finals), two other championship rings in three Finals following the signing of Kevin Durant at the summer 2016, and a fourth banner won in 2022. The transfer made with the Wolves in February 2020, in which Golden State recovered Andrew Wiggins as well as a draft choice which became Jonathan Kuminga ( once morest D’Angelo Russell) also remains as one of the big hits made by the Myers Warriors in recent years.
Is this beautiful adventure regarding to end? Does Bob Myers want a new challenge? Or does he simply need a break following a magnificent but tiring decade? So many questions that we can ask ourselves in view of the contractual situation of the Warriors manager.
Response in the coming months.
