Golden State Warriors bid farewell to Bob Myers, the architect of the championship empire for the past 8 years

During the press conference held by the 2022 NBA champion - Golden State Warriors on May 31 (Vietnam time), a regretful separation appeared.

Professional President Bob Myers, the "architect" who built the Golden State team to win the NBA 4 times in the past 8 years, has resigned, saying goodbye to the Warriors after a 12-year journey.

The contract renewals of the team and Bob Myers had been stalled for months, largely because both sides felt it was time to stop.

Bob Myers joined the Golden State Warriors in 2011 as an assistant general manager. He was promoted to technical director in 2012 and started building the Warriors roster.

The first success that came to Bob Myers was the 2015 Executive of the Year title, the season Golden State won 67 games in the Regular Season and was crowned champion. This feat started the "Warrior empire" with the well-known "Death Lineup".

Thanks to working directly with head coach Steve Kerr, Mr. Bob Myers continuously brought in quality satellite players, while ensuring the salary story for the pillars.

One of the bright spots in the Warriors' transfer market under Myers was the 2016 summer Kevin Durant deal, which later brought Golden State to three consecutive NBA Finals series (2017, 2018 and 2019), winning the championship. enemy 2 times.

In 2022, Golden State brought home another Larry O'Brien gold cup, closing one of the most successful periods in the team's history with 6 NBA Finals (including 5 consecutive Finals series from 2015- 2019), 4 times champion within 8 years.

The departure of the Golden State Warriors from one of the most influential figures in the club's history will bring many concerns, especially with the possibility that the "Warriors empire" may collapse after the last season.

The Athletic reported that the Golden State Warriors were preparing for the departure of the president and were gradually considering alternatives. Bob Myers' current contract expires at the end of June.

Stephen Curry is the person who has the closest relationship with the former president, followed by Klay Thompson and coach Steve Kerr. All three of these names publicly supported the Warriors and Mr. Myers' contract renewals, but that did not happen.

After letting Mr. Bob Myers go, it is highly likely that the team will promote an internal member instead of looking for external factors. The leading candidate is Mike Dunleavy Jr, who has attended several recent GM meetings on behalf of Mr. Myers.

The person making the appointment decision will be Joe Lacob, the owner and the largest shareholder of the team. It is expected that the selection of a new technical director for the Golden State Warriors will take place in June.
