After winning four championships in nearly a decade, the Warriors have established themselves as a modern-era dynasty. However, the Warriors championship-winning potential could take a huge hit due to a looming problem that has been persistent for months. As per recent reports, a wide array of teams are eyeing a Warriors executive that is quite close to Stephen Curry and has contributed heavily to their championship success. Recently, a report about a Warriors executive’s possibility of leaving Golden State has left fans in disbelief.

Rumors about the future of the president of basketball operations and general manager of the Golden State Warriors, Bob Myers’ exit from the franchise have prevailed for months.

Bob Myers is believed to be one of the top-ranked executives in the NBA. He is popularly known as the architect of four championship wins for the Warriors and is a reputed personality in the NBA. As per reports, Myers feels that he should be among the highest-paid executives in the league. Therefore, Bob Myers could leave Golden State for financial pursuits. The Warriors have not been able to negotiate an extension with Myers yet. As a result, there have been reports of many other teams being interested in bidding for Myers.

As per The Athletic, “According to sources close to the situation, Washington, Phoenix, and New York are all worth monitoring the possibilities.” Moreover, given his roots in Los Angeles, the Clippers are also believed to be a potential franchise that could land Myers in the future. Thus, the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Clippers seem to be the possible options for Bob Myers if he leaves the Golden State Warriors.
