Warriors general manager Bob Myers resigns

According to Paul Kasabian of Bleacher Report on Tuesday, Golden State Warriors General Manager and President Bob Myers of Danville, California has resigned. Myers had been the general manager of the Warriors since April 24, 2012. In 11 seasons as the Warriors GM, Golden State had a marvelous record of 571 wins and 274 losses in 845 games for a winning percentage of .676. The Warriors also won four NBA Finals with Myers making decisions regarding players and coaches. Golden State was victorious in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

On could argue the most significant move Myers made as Warriors General Manager came on July 7, 2016. That is when he signed forward Kevin Durant of Washington, D.C. to a two-year deal worth $54.3 million. Durant was the NBA Finals MVP in 2017 and 2018, as both seasons the Warriors eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Myers’s other most notable achievement was to help keep point guard legend Stephen Curry in Golden State. Prior to his first NBA regular season as the Warriors general manager, Myers signed Curry to a four-year contract extension with $44 million. Then on July 1, 2017, Myers was able to re-sign Curry again to a whopping five-year contract worth $201 million. While with the Warriors, Curry has represented Golden State in nine All-Star Games, was the NBA MVP in 2015 and 2016, like Myers won four NBA Finals, and was the 2022 NBA Finals MVP.

It will now be interesting to see how much the Warriors change from a coaching and player personnel perspective without Myers in charge. Last season, the Warriors reached the Western Conference Semifinals before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers.
