The rumor that has circled the Golden State Warriors for the last year has finally come to fruition: president and general manager Bob Myers is stepping away from the team.
With an end-of-season press conference set for Tuesday afternoon, ESPN reported that Myers had made a decision to leave the organization, quoting the longtime exec as saying, “It’s just time.”
All signs pointed in that direction. Myers had a dream GM job in the Bay Area, where he was respected and loved by the organization and its players, had an opportunity to add more rings to his hand, and had an offer from Joe Lacob to be the most handsomely paid GM in the NBA.
