Bob Myers: Warriors Plan to Keep Barnes, Ezeli for “Long Time”

The life of an NBA General Manager is definitely not envious — as soon as you win a championship, the focus shifts to the next season in the form of the draft, free agency, and retaining key players.

The latter is the focus right now, with Festus Ezeli and Harrison Barnes eligible to receive contract extensions shortly on their rookie deals .

Warriors’ GM Bob Myers went on KNBR on Thursday and praised Ezeli and Barnes, planning to “keep them a long time.”

Via Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group, Myers said the Warriors are “focused and motivated” on getting an extension done for both of them.
