NBA Rumors: Warriors 'Bracing for the Likelihood' GM Bob Myers Leaves in Offseason

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly "bracing for the likelihood" that president of basketball operations Bob Myers could walk away from the franchise when his contract expires on June 30, per Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

The two sides reportedly have not engaged in "substantial contract extension talks in months," per The Athletic duo. It's expected that Myers will formally announce his decision regarding his future with the team "in the coming weeks."

The 48-year-old joined the Warriors as an assistant general manager in 2011 before being promoted to general manager in April 2012. His tenure running Golden State's front office includes four NBA championships and six Western Conference titles.

Myers was in the front office for some key decisions en route to creating the Warriors dynasty, including drafting Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in 2011 and 2012, respectively and hiring Steve Kerr as head coach in 2014.

Golden State is entering an important offseason after falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the playoffs. Green can decline his player option to become a free agent. Thompson has one year left on his deal, and the same goes for Kerr.

Jordan Poole, who signed a four-year contract extension before this season, regressed to the point where he shot just 34.1 percent during the playoffs.

It's unclear who will be making crucial calls on the team's future, however, and Kerr spoke about how much Myers' deal (or no deal) affects the decision-making process.

"Our organization has a lot to sort through this summer," Kerr said Tuesday, per The Athletic. "My contract situation is not, nor should it be, at the top of the list. Right now Bob's contract situation is No. 1 because that influences a lot of the player decisions that have to be made, contracts, draft, free agency. We will get to my stuff whenever that happens and I'm in no rush for that."

We'll soon find out what Myers decides. If he doesn't re-sign with the Warriors, Charania and Slater noted that the GM is also receiving interest from pro sports leagues as well as private equity funds. They also speculated a move into the media sphere as well.
