Warriors Rumors: Bob Myers Set to Make over $10M per Year If He Signs GSW Contract

While Bob Myers continues to deliberate his future, the Golden State Warriors are prepared to make their general manager a very lucrative contract offer if he wants to stay with the organization.

Per Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer, league personnel expect Myers' next deal with the Warriors would exceed $10 million per season if he opts to sign an extension.

The Athletic's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater reported on Wednesday the two sides "have had no substantial contract extension talks in months" and are "bracing for the likelihood" Myers will walk away when his deal expires on June 30.

While salary details for general managers and front office executives are rarely publicly reported, Slater, Marcus Thompson II and Sam Amick reported in January that Myers' current contract ranks somewhere in the range of sixth, seventh or eighth among all executives.

"The upper echelon of executives, league sources say, make upwards of $10 million. Incentives are often added to these deals. Myers reached an incentive for the Warriors winning this past title," they wrote.

Warriors governor Joe Lacob told The Athletic's Tim Kawakami in a Jan. 5 podcast appearance (h/t CBS Sports' James Herbert) that Myers' pay was in the "top three of general managers" in the NBA.

Adding to the pressure of getting an answer, one way or another, from Myers is the big roster decisions the Warriors face this summer. Draymond Green can become a free agent if he turns down his $27.6 million option for next season.

Klay Thompson is eligible for an extension as he enters the final year of his current deal with a $43.2 million salary.

Per a May 13 report from Charania and Slater, the Warriors intend to discuss a multiyear extension with Green either by adding years to his contract if he opts in or giving him an entirely new deal if he opts out.

As for Thompson, the report notes he would likely "have to accept a paycut" to get a new contract.

The Warriors' success over the past decade, which includes four titles, is owed in no small part to the job Myers has done since he was first hired as their assistant general manager in April 2011.

This season was a disappointment by the lofty standards of this franchise. They struggled to find consistency during the regular season, finishing 44-38 overall to earn the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.

After surviving a first-round playoff series by defeating the Sacramento Kings, the Warriors were eliminated in six games in the second round by the Los Angeles Lakers. It was Golden State's first postseason series loss to a Western Conference opponent since May 2014.
