Bob Myers is stepping down from his role as the Golden State Warriors president and general<\/a> manager, the team announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Myers joined the Warriors\u2019 front office in 2011. He is credited as an architect of the Warriors’ dynasty after playing a pivotal executive role as the team won four championships during his tenure.<\/p>\n

“You can’t make it to a day like this anymore without everyone knowing what you’re going to say,” the 48-year-old said at press conference on Tuesday. The news<\/a> of his milestone decision was broken by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski<\/a>, who reported that Myers felt it was “just time” to move on.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media<\/a> on Tuesday, Myers went on to explain what led to the “tough” decision, saying the job requires complete effort, something he’s unable to maintain going forward.<\/p>\n

“I’ve only known how to do things one way my whole life,” he said. “It doesn’t feel right to do something when I can’t give it everything. And that’s what it takes to do what we’ve done over the last, for me, 12 years.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

With Myers’ exit, Warriors team owner Joe Lacob is reportedly expected to seek a more prominent role for executive vice president of basketball operations, Kirk Lacob, who is also his son. Vice president of basketball operations Mike Dunleavy Jr. is also someone to watch, according to Wojnarowski.<\/p>\n

Myers’ contract expires in late June. His exit comes after a January report from The Athletic<\/a>, which said that his future with the Warriors was uncertain. At the time, the Warriors faced and continue to grapp<\/a>le with rising salaries, increased luxury tax issues <\/a>and uncertainty for veteran players.<\/p>\n

The added front-office question mark with Myers was a result of friction surrounding his salary and the “two-timeline plan,” <\/a>according to the report. Lacob had reportedly become \u201cmore involved than ever\u201d in attempting to simultaneously win with the veterans while developing the franchise\u2019s newcomers. That plan conflicted with focusing solely on winning championships during the next few seasons.<\/p>\n

He was reportedly weighing his professional options during the winter and he’s still unsure, according to Wojnarowski. His r\u00e9sum\u00e9 would make him an attractive addition to any ownership group or front office. But, he could also move on from the league entirely. He\u2019s had a successful career and recently launched a podcast<\/a> with Warriors star Stephen Curry as his first guest.<\/p>\n

The two-time NBA Executive of the Year is responsible for signing Curry to two supermax contracts and most recently secured Jordan Poole\u2019s extension<\/a>. He was also behind the deals with Andre Iguodala<\/a>, Kevin Durant<\/a> and Andrew Wiggins<\/a>, all crucial players in chapters of Golden State\u2019s success over the past eight seasons.<\/p>\n

Myers is known to have close relationships with Curry, veteran Draymond Green and head coach Steve Kerr. Those connections made him an asset amid team conflict. This season, however, the strain was too much for Myers to rectify. Green and Kerr admitted that Green punching Poole hindered the Warriors’ season,<\/a> which ended at the hands of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.<\/p>\n

With Myers’ exit guaranteed, Golden State’s offseason will likely feature a pivot. Green, Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga and even Kerr’s futures are reportedly still in the balance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
