Report: Warriors' Bob Myers 'Genuinely Doesn't Know' About Future After Lakers Loss

The Golden State Warriors are about to enter one of their most important offseasons in franchise history following the team's second-round series loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

But they may have to navigate it without general manager Bob Myers, who was the architect of the organization's four championships amid its dynastic run over the last nine years.

Myers, 48, has been with the Warriors since 2011, when he began as assistant general manager, but his current contract is up at the end of June.

Golden State governor Joe Lacob has offered Myers multiple extensions that would make him one of the highest paid executives in the entire NBA. But those talks have been set aside as Myers is still undecided on whether he wants to take some time away from the game, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

If Myers doesn't return, The Athletic's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater reported that the organization plans to hire his replacement internally—possibly Mike Dunleavy Jr., who joined the Warriors as a scout in 2018 and is their vice president of basketball operations.

But whether it's Myers, Dunleavy or anyone else, they'll have their work cut out for them as there'll be plenty of tough decisions to make following Golden State's flameout in the second round.

While much-accomplished, the core trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green seem destined to be broken up at some point soon as they are all in their mid-30s.

And while Curry is still as good as ever, Thompson and Green look a bit past their primes while still being productive players.

Green has a $27.6 million player option this offseason that may further complicate any plans the front office has.

Head coach Steve Kerr said after Friday's game:

"I think it is probably too raw right now for me to think about. The one thing I will say is that Draymond, Klay, Steph, our core guys, they've got plenty left to offer, there is still plenty in the tank there.

"I still feel like this team has championship potential. We didn't get there this year, but it is not like this is the end of the road. The organization has some decisions to make, and we will eventually get to that point."

Aside from the stars, decisions will have to be made about some of the team's youngsters as well, as Jordan Poole had a rough postseason and lottery picks Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga didn't seem ready to step into bigger roles when called upon.

So, the future looks murky at best for Golden State a year removed from winning another NBA title.

As for Myers, he's started his own podcast with ESPN and Omaha Production called Lead by Example with Bob Myers.

He could also decide to take on a different project with another organization and start one of the NBA's biggest bidding wars over a free-agent executive.
