Golden State's Bob Myers, a two-time executive of the year and architect of four NBA championships with the Warriors, is stepping down as the franchise's president and general manager, he told ESPN on Tuesday.
"It's just time," Myers told ESPN. Myers, whose contract expires in late June, declined ownership offers on a new deal that would've paid him among the league's top-earning executives, he said. Myers described the decision-making process that led him to leave the franchise after 12 years as including several factors beyond money.
Myers, 48, said he's unsure of his future professional pathway, but should he someday decide to return to the team side, he's expected to become the one of the most pursued executives in modern North American professional sports history.
