Warriors Rumors: Bob Myers Didn't Attend NBA GM Meetings; Dunleavy Jr. Repped GSW

Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers did not attend Tuesday's NBA GM meetings, according to Marc J. Spears of Andscape.

Mike Dunleavy Jr., Golden State's vice president of basketball operations, represented the organization at the event instead.

This comes amid lingering uncertainty over Myers' future in the Bay Area with his contract expiring this summer.

ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported on May 13 that the 48-year-old told the Warriors he intended to take some time before deciding on his next steps:

"During the season, sources say Warriors owner Joe Lacob presented multiple contract extension offers that would make Myers one of the league's highest-paid executives, even offering him an option to take time off if he preferred. But Myers, sources say, genuinely doesn't know what he wants to do, and talks have been tabled for some time."

In January, The Athletic's Anthony Slater, Marcus Thompson II and Sam Amick laid out how Myers might leave the team for whom he has been the architect of four championship winners. Beyond the tension stemming from extension negotiations, he may simply want a change of scenery.

Attempting to maintain a title contender every year for nearly decade can exact a heavy toll mentally. You'd understand why Myers might prefer a setting where the expectations aren't so high straight away.

This would be a good time to move on as well. Myers or whoever is running Golden State will have to make some difficult decisions starting this summer.

Draymond Green is eligible to become a free agent, and head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged Tuesday the Warriors are "not a championship contender" without him next year.

If they want to continue retooling around the Big Three of Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, then trading one of Jordan Poole or Jonathan Kuminga is probably required in order to get the necessary veteran reinforcements.

Golden State could instead embrace a youth movement and let Green walk before doing the same with Thompson, who has one year left on his contract. That would certainly be an unpopular decision considering Curry continues to perform at an elite level.

Whatever Myers wants, you would expect a resolution sometime soon so the Warriors can go about their necessary offseason business.
