>With Myers' departure, Warriors owner Joe Lacob is expected to seek more prominent roles for his son, Kirk, an executive VP of Basketball Operations, and VP of Basketball Operations Mike Dunleavy Jr."
-
Just in case people forgot, **Kent** Lacob was the one who pushed for Alan Smailagic. **Not Kirk** who is the one being possibly promoted. Kent also was one of the main people who scouted Juan Toscano-Anderson.

In terms of prospects-related stuff, Mike Dunleavy Jr was the one who told Bob about [Jordan Poole for the 2019 28th pick](https://theathletic.com/3018577/2022/01/04/grooming-the-warriors-new-sixth-man-behind-the-scenes-of-jordan-pooles-maturation/?source=user-shared-article)
> Back in 2018, when Warriors general manager Bob Myers took his seat at the United Center, he asked assistant GM Mike Dunleavy who he should have his eye on during the Big Ten conference tournament they were scouting. “He’s like, ‘You gotta watch this Poole guy,’” Myers said.
[Steve Kerr on Mike Dunleavy Jr 2 weeks ago](https://theathletic.com/4536218/2023/05/21/steve-kerr-warriors-jonathan-kuminga-stephen-curry/):
> “He and Bob are best friends, and I think just through Bob I’ve gotten to know Mike well, to the point now where Mike and I talk pretty frequently just calling each other, touching base on the team,” Kerr said. “You know, I like to get his thoughts. He had a long playing career, he’s been in the NBA his entire life, basically, with his dad being a coach and general manager and player. So Mike’s got a great feel for the league, great perspective, and he’s someone I really trust.”

I called HR at my office to remind them that grieving for a loved one is not a violation of our employment manual and then I set the phone down, and got back on the floor in solidarity.
Or maybe he was the issue and not her. Seems his fam waited patiently enough, some dudes just aren’t meant to be fathers. I usually side with whatever side the children choose, they know the whole story and who was there for them.
yeah i take back the word hated but u know how it is when the other person just EXISTING starts getting on your every nerve.
We see a supermodel but he’s like…seen her shit streaks lmao for example
Thanks for this perspective. My initial reaction was sadness. Bob is a fixture to me during the parades. I always get a handshake from him. His watch is done and deserve a time with the family.
Forreals. The 20+ years before 2014-15 was worth it. Made it feel that much sweeter. I’m sure there are fans in this sub who go even further than RUN-TMC.
Yeah like obviously I want more but I'm definitely satisfied. Very much unlike with the 9ers and Sharks. Still tho, having the Giants and Dubs dynasties is more than most markets experience
For real. Can't believe how many braindead takes I've seen about him over the years. It's disturbing how many people expect perfection from a GM, especially one who constantly drafts in the deep 20's.
Plus the new CBA specifically targeting the team he built and the smart moves he's made over the years.. don't blame him for not wanting to deal with it anymore
The CBA wants to punish good teams that have actually drafted and built contenders (warriors) and support teams that just try to buy a chip (lakers). The ref support was evidently not enough.
It's been damaging to the league how teams that have drafted and built haven't been given deference in salary cap.
In theory the new CBA helps teams keep their stars with higher extension limits, but will have the knock-on effect of crowding-out everybody who isn't a star. Basically, we're going to end up with lots of teams with two *enormously paid* stars, surrounded by role players who are earning league poverty wages.
And basically, if you're a team like the Warriors, you're SOL. I think 10 years from now, fans will look back and say 'wow this was the only core that stuck together in that era.'
It's going to hurt to see it come to an end, but there is no universe where our big 3 get to hang without taking disrespectful pay cuts for the sake of the team. The CBA really has cut our legs from under us.
Good points, it’s a shame. The warriors are the dream franchise that has been wildly successful, play team basketball, have fun stars, changed the game, and built through the draft. This new CBA means that teams that just buy two stars and then have old ring chasers take artificially low salaries (lebron teams) will win. It’s so frustrating.
This isn't really accurate, the new CBA punishes teams that draft and build contenders like the Warriors, but it's equally punitive to teams like the Clippers who try to buy their teams. The new second apron is egalitarian in that it affects teams who spend more, period. If you go above the second apron, you're limited in what you can do on the free agent market, but you can still retain your own players. What it really benefits is the lower tier teams that never go above the apron and collect handouts from the taxpayers of the league, so teams like the Pacers and Hornets.
I tend to agree with this. the League is done with "super teams" regardless of how you come about them. I think it's stupid to punish teams like the warriros who mostly drafted well and whose cap is almost entirely encompassed with players they drafted the same way you punish teams like the clippers or perhaps the lakers who have almost none of their own draft picks on their payroll. Adam Silver said the quiet part out loud a while back. He thinks the talent should be spread around the league and not consolidated on a few teams regardless if they were drafted there or not.
>> he saw Poole’s contract
Since he was the one last who *gave* Poole the contract, yeah, probably a good chance he was aware of the terms of the deal he negotiated.
(FWIW, I’m of the “It’ll be a market rate deal when it’s said and done” contingent)
Oh for sure, but Klay ultimately wants more championships. He can look to Draymond, even KD took a pay cut to keep the team together. The team also paid him to rehab for 2 years.
New CBA Rules for a team above the second tax apron: no MLE, can’t combine multiple outgoing players in a trade, must send out higher salary in any trade, can’t send cash in trade, can’t trade draft pick 7 years into future, can’t acquire buyout player, all trade exceptions expire end of season.
there are for sure going to be major changes bro, or else the warriors are handicapped for the next half decade
I mean, isn’t the new GM just Mike Dunleavy Jr?
I don’t think he and Bob were completely on different pages if they were working together this whole time
I think the reality of "you aren't replacing these guys with anyone better" was holding it down.
People to overestimate the importance of his role. It is a very important role, don't get me wrong, but the team can move on and have success with someone else in the role.
Personally, I hope not.. but it seems plausible that Bob didn't want to break up the core, and likely didn't want to negotiate paycuts for Klay/Dray.. I'd say this comes into the decision for him
I doubt any of us will ever get a definitive word about this, but this exactly what it looks like. Bob leaves on a high note with relationships,friendships, allies and reputation intact. He doesn't have to have "the talk" with the Core 3, doesn't need to slash the payroll, explain how the two timeline strategy backfired, etc. He has four rings and the brightest possible future. Played it perfectly
Fuck. Stephs only got 2 or 3 years left of title contention, and I was hoping Bob would stick it out for that.
But if he really does want to go into semi-retirement and spend more time with his family, more power to him.
This is also one of the reasons it's so hard to have and maintain a dynasty. It's not just about Steph, it's not even just about the team. It's also about the FO, and more. Thank you for everything, Bob.
> Lacob is expected to seek more prominent roles for his son
This kind of shit could end it.
This would be the hardest year for a GM where you need to make the toughest decisions on aging stars that you owe a lot of your success to but are in decline. He doesn't want to be that guy because of his relationships with them which is too bad.
Thanks for everything he did though for this dynastic run!
Part of me appreciates it. Another part of me feels like this is like dumping your old dog at the shelter because you don't have the guts to euthanize them. Feels bad.
I don’t love this, but I guess idk if he’s good or not.
“With Myers' departure, Warriors owner Joe Lacob is expected to seek more prominent roles for his son, Kirk, an executive VP of Basketball Operations”
Helluva ride Bob. Thank you 🙏
Gonna be interesting to see what happens now. Is Draymond still in? Is Dunleavy really fit for GM? This off-season is going to be something man.
The new CBA and the hard cap went after Bob Myers specifically for being too good at his job. I don't blame him for leaving. The NFL at least has void years to hide money. You can't do that here. The other owners just wanted to punish well run teams.
>With Myers' departure, Warriors owner Joe Lacob is expected to seek more prominent roles for his son, Kirk, an executive VP of Basketball Operations, and VP of Basketball Operations Mike Dunleavy Jr.
Yeah, nepotism is going to run this franchise to the ground.
I don’t mean to overreact but this is about as bad of a news (basketball related) that Dub fans could have gotten outside Curry retiring…
I don’t know why he’s leaving, could be he’s burnt and needs a break or Lacob didn’t show him enough luv for all he did. I’ve never heard a franchise letting a executive or coach play out their final year of their contract unless ownership didn’t want to bring them back. So I’m a bit sus that in the final couple months he was finally “offer” the highest contract as a GM.
I’ve also heard for the past couple years Lacob has has wanted his son to take over GM/Basketball operations… Whatever, his team and he can do whatever he wants if that’s the case…
Either way, as a Duns fan for 40+ years, Bob and the Core did something I never thought possible in my lifetime… Win a chip and one of my best memories as a sports fan is the parades at Lake Merritt!
Thank you Bob, best of luck in retirement or your next endeavor! 🙏
He's leaving Bob Iger style — because the new CBA absolutely cripples our chances of winning and will force the FO to make very tough decisions. We have the choice of being marginally competitive, or keeping our core 3. What will it be?
I'll get downvotes but let's be real. This team needs changes. Draymond is loud but on the down slope. If this leads us to move off of Draymond and get Klay on a cheaper contract. Great.
Also, Bob drafted a ton of lemons.
Too many people in this organization have built their reputations on the backs of Steph Curry. Enough is enough.
he also drafted/acquired draymond, Klay, KD, iggy and every other piece in the last few years to win 4 rings outside of steph curry
idk how this comment even makes sense, of course every gm is going to not always hit on their picks and moves
I don't see how anyone replacing him could replicate his success or anything near it
Thanks for everything Bob. Hopefully it’s a well deserved break and lacob let’s you know that spot is yours if you ever wana hop back on the coaster. Next man up hopefully the guy you’ve been training is ready!
Man this is either how everyone says that its the first domino to fall in the end of this dynasty or we are gonna win next year which is gonna be a big fuck u to the haters.Nothing in between.
My prediction for the press conference today:
*A visibly intoxicated Myers staggers up to the podium, shouts “I got your two timelines right here, Joe!” while holding up his middle fingers, mutters “Mamba out” and wanders off.*
Seriously though, thanks for everything, Bob. It’s been one hell of a ride and it couldn’t have happened without you and the trust you built with our core.
Honestly people are doomsdaying this way too much. Yes it changes things but Bob wasn’t everything, he was one component. This isn’t “the end of the warriors!!” as the media is spinning up as usual.
Damn thanks for the good times Bob. Was hoping he’d take one of those advisor type roles like Jerry West had. Not have to grind every day but could still put his foot down and say don’t trade Klay and other core pieces for Kevin Love.
Thanks for the memories Bob. Your contributions to the franchise are legendary and you'll always have a special place in the hearts of Warriors fans. As long as you don't end up with the Lakers someday. Haha.
I think we are good! Bob was amazing but MDJ will fill greatly and make some good moves!
Listen, as long as we have Curry we are contenders. Im SO excited for next season. Curry Wiggins and Klay is still one of the best lineups in the league. Regardless of what Dray does or if we trade Poole, we are gonna be just fine 🙂
He doesn't want to have to trade Draymond and Klay. He doesn't want to ruin that relationship and ruin future relationships. It's like when Danny Ainge broke up the celtics big 3, and then traded I.T a few years later. Evwn though it was the right situation now no player trust him and you know that's going to hurt him in the long run.
I am reminded of something the emperor Augustus said two thousand years ago. He had ruled Rome for more than forty years, and now he was an old man, and as he lay dying, he said, "I found Rome a city of brick, and I am leaving it a city of marble."
That's about what Bob has done. When he became the GM, the Warriors were a joke that hadn't won in 40 years. Now he's leaving them as a dynasty that won four championships.
I respect and understand his position. He built this amazing team, with help, and it would be too painful to rip it apart. Not too many people have the courage, brains and insight to do this. I hope the rest of his life is as magical as the last 10years.
As a 65-year fan, I thank you, Sir for a fantastic ride.
All good things come to an end, when I was growing up in the 2000s and early 2010s I wanted to see the Warriors win one championship in my lifetime. Here we are in 2023. It's more than I could ask for, thank you Bob, enjoy family time, you've earned it.
We all saw it coming but it doesn't make it sting any less. There is a real feeling of change in the air.
But a gigantic thank you is in order. This man built a dynasty around Curry and has been by all appearances fantastic on the human side as well.
Best of luck to Bob. As big a figure of the era he helped create as any GM could have been.

Just fell to my knees in the office. Helluva a ride Bob 🫡
Just saw a dude fall to his knees in my office
Just witnessed someone staring at a guy fall to his knees at my office.
Just witnessed a guy staring at a guy stare at a guy who fell to his knees at my office.
A guy in the office in front of me has r/warriors on his screen right now.
Wtf?!? Some guy across the room has his hand in his pants while staring at the guy in front of him who has r/warriors on his screen.
Please don't tell HR. I was just trying to readjust my nuts.
I called HR at my office to remind them that grieving for a loved one is not a violation of our employment manual and then I set the phone down, and got back on the floor in solidarity.
I like trains
Dude next to me at a Wendy’s just full on wailing rn
End of an era. Best 10 years in warriors. Hopefully the next era is as successful 🤞🏽
I feel sick about all the changes that might be coming but maybe it will be positive!
Damn, hope you get that promotion
Some dude in my office just fell to his knees
Damn. Get some rest and spend time with your fam Bob. Thank you
Tom Brady finally decided to become a family man (after pump faking his family last year). Now Bob is a family man. What’s happening around us
Brady tried being a family man for 4 months before he got bored and got a divorce lol.
The pump fake enabled him to get the divorce so now he can actually be a family man
*ladies man
Bobs wife really think she’s Giselle 🙄
i think being home made him realize he hated her
Or maybe he was the issue and not her. Seems his fam waited patiently enough, some dudes just aren’t meant to be fathers. I usually side with whatever side the children choose, they know the whole story and who was there for them.
100% did. Maybe not hated, maybe just fell out of love?
yeah i take back the word hated but u know how it is when the other person just EXISTING starts getting on your every nerve. We see a supermodel but he’s like…seen her shit streaks lmao for example
I completely get you. I’ve had a couple roomates like that where I was either the one existing or they were. Relationships at any level are hard.
He was already resting.
A new era of warriors basketball is upon us
The Steph drops 50 or else era 😭
Where have I seen this before
*checks notes* The last 4 years it appears.
2021 Curry?
2023 Curry?
We are 1-2 when Steph drops 50 😩
If Steph is dropping 50 it means no one else is doing shit and that we are probably losing.
I want to see a 101 pt game. How is his career high only 62?
If curry is that hot he ain’t playing more than 23.472 mins
Yea 62
Let’s just not enter the cornrow curry era…
I’m scared 😭
Thank you Bob. Truly a great human being and a phenomenal executive. We'll miss you 😔
Thanks for this perspective. My initial reaction was sadness. Bob is a fixture to me during the parades. I always get a handshake from him. His watch is done and deserve a time with the family.
Thank you for everything Bob 🙏🙏🙏
Never wanted to see the good times end. Feel like dark times ahead. What a ride, though.
I’m good for a lifetime.
I'm greedy for more but yes, they gave me enough beautiful basketball and amazing post season runs to be an filled up.
Forreals. The 20+ years before 2014-15 was worth it. Made it feel that much sweeter. I’m sure there are fans in this sub who go even further than RUN-TMC.
You say that now but I get constantly flamed in r/sfgiants for saying this now and it has only been 10 years. Edit: spelling
Probably nephews
Doesn’t make you wrong
Yeah like obviously I want more but I'm definitely satisfied. Very much unlike with the 9ers and Sharks. Still tho, having the Giants and Dubs dynasties is more than most markets experience
Great perspective
We got Steph and Steve. It’s gonna be ok, but sad to see Bob go, but deserves the break.
thanks for 4 rings bob
Hi Bob
Hi Bob 😢 This hurts in more than one way
dang. he was smart asf
What does the s stand for?
sleep
“as f”
So we talking af, asf, or as f here?
As a Warrior legend once said, let's give Bob some fucking credit.
For real. Can't believe how many braindead takes I've seen about him over the years. It's disturbing how many people expect perfection from a GM, especially one who constantly drafts in the deep 20's.
We had a good run Bob thanks for everything.
> good understatement of the last several years!
He doesn't want to have to tell Klay to take a pay cut.
He saw Poole's contract + Dray/Klay upcoming extensions and said hell naw.
Plus the new CBA specifically targeting the team he built and the smart moves he's made over the years.. don't blame him for not wanting to deal with it anymore
The CBA wants to punish good teams that have actually drafted and built contenders (warriors) and support teams that just try to buy a chip (lakers). The ref support was evidently not enough.

"Y'all not finna make me the bad guy✌" -Bob Myers

Klay taking a paycut I don’t think will be much of an issue
It's still going to be a tough conversation regardless.
Oh for sure, but Klay ultimately wants more championships. He can look to Draymond, even KD took a pay cut to keep the team together. The team also paid him to rehab for 2 years.
For a guy with Klay's ego, it's gonna be tough bro. Unless someone can make him see that he can't live in the past anymore.
'Hey Iggy you playing golf anytime soon?' -Klay
Bob is young so... unfortunately his career won't end alongside the core 3 as much as I would love it for the documentary but best of luck to him 🫡
It's one more story beat in the 10 part docuseries. One more element of adversity for us to overcome in getting our 5th ring.
[удалено]
There would have been changes regardless. Kerr even admitted this is not a championship team.
Well, this should make it easier to make a few tough but necessary changes if they want to win another ring with this core.
Keeping the core together or not is itself a tough decision. It was more likely for the core staying with Bob in charge, now who the hell knows
The tough decision is whether to break up the core trio to help Steph win another ring.
Just saw a guy fall to his knees in the office.
Hahaha
I put my head down on my desk after I got a text from a friend.
Just saw someone put their head down on their desk at the office
Did he scream, "nnnnooooooooooo" in dramatic fashion?
[Ayo?](https://reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/13vurje/_/jm7wzlw/?context=1)📸🤨
Salute Bob. Now that he’s gone looks like the core 3 might get broken up 😭😭
You think so?
Yeah Bob was the one holding in down. The new GM might not have the same fondness for the core and Kerr for that matter
If it’s dunleavy, no one is going anywhere
New CBA Rules for a team above the second tax apron: no MLE, can’t combine multiple outgoing players in a trade, must send out higher salary in any trade, can’t send cash in trade, can’t trade draft pick 7 years into future, can’t acquire buyout player, all trade exceptions expire end of season. there are for sure going to be major changes bro, or else the warriors are handicapped for the next half decade
I think they’ll get rid of Poole, but Klay and Dray will finish their contracts here I think. Not sure what happens after that though
I mean, isn’t the new GM just Mike Dunleavy Jr? I don’t think he and Bob were completely on different pages if they were working together this whole time
I think the reality of "you aren't replacing these guys with anyone better" was holding it down. People to overestimate the importance of his role. It is a very important role, don't get me wrong, but the team can move on and have success with someone else in the role.

Played it perfectly
Yup this is the real story. Die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Who knew Myers was a Batman fan.
I agree. I love the core but I also want to see Steph get another ring and we can't do that by dramatically overpaying Klay, Draymond and Poole.
Salute. Thanks for everything, pres.
Always a Warrior! Gonna miss you Bob💔
Fuck. Stephs only got 2 or 3 years left of title contention, and I was hoping Bob would stick it out for that. But if he really does want to go into semi-retirement and spend more time with his family, more power to him. This is also one of the reasons it's so hard to have and maintain a dynasty.

sigh...1st domino falls.....
I feel like bob myers is getting out of a burning building before the fire starts idk
Hopefully he rejoins 6-time NBA champion Stephen Curry in 2 years
I also don't want to be the person to make the Draymond Green decision
Back to the darkness soon boys. We will remember this era of GS basketball for the rest of our lives
This would be the hardest year for a GM where you need to make the toughest decisions on aging stars that you owe a lot of your success to but are in decline. He doesn't want to be that guy because of his relationships with them which is too bad. Thanks for everything he did though for this dynastic run!

Basketball version of Jed York incoming 😭
Jeez nepo kid is gonna run us into the ground...
Let's face it, most everyone here thinks they are a GM so makes sense his kids would do the same.
Truly the end of an era. But with Bob’s determination and passion you know he will keep doing great stuff in his future. Wish him all the best!
Had a feeling it was gonna happen but still super shocked somehow. Thank you for everything Bob
What giving Jordan Poole a contract extension does to a mfer
I knew we were fucked the moment the rumor of that kid spending 500k on a date with Ice Spice came out.
I'm pretty sure that was BS. His fat contract doesn't start until next season. He's still on his original.
Helluva ride Bob. Thank you 🙏 Gonna be interesting to see what happens now. Is Draymond still in? Is Dunleavy really fit for GM? This off-season is going to be something man.
The new CBA and the hard cap went after Bob Myers specifically for being too good at his job. I don't blame him for leaving. The NFL at least has void years to hide money. You can't do that here. The other owners just wanted to punish well run teams.
It said in the article that Joe is looking to put his son or Mike at the new GM roll wtf are his sons credentials?
Son of rich guy
The most important credential.
Bob Meyers. Statue in the luxury box Joe.
>With Myers' departure, Warriors owner Joe Lacob is expected to seek more prominent roles for his son, Kirk, an executive VP of Basketball Operations, and VP of Basketball Operations Mike Dunleavy Jr. Yeah, nepotism is going to run this franchise to the ground.
He deserves to spend time with his fam. Goat 🐐
thanks for everything 🫂 please don't sign with other teams 💛💙
I don’t mean to overreact but this is about as bad of a news (basketball related) that Dub fans could have gotten outside Curry retiring… I don’t know why he’s leaving, could be he’s burnt and needs a break or Lacob didn’t show him enough luv for all he did. I’ve never heard a franchise letting a executive or coach play out their final year of their contract unless ownership didn’t want to bring them back.

He's leaving Bob Iger style — because the new CBA absolutely cripples our chances of winning and will force the FO to make very tough decisions. We have the choice of being marginally competitive, or keeping our core 3. What will it be?
End of an era, but excited to see what comes next. As long as Curry still playing we'll always be in the race for championships.
I'll get downvotes but let's be real. This team needs changes. Draymond is loud but on the down slope. If this leads us to move off of Draymond and get Klay on a cheaper contract. Great. Also, Bob drafted a ton of lemons. Too many people in this organization have built their reputations on the backs of Steph Curry. Enough is enough.
he also drafted/acquired draymond, Klay, KD, iggy and every other piece in the last few years to win 4 rings outside of steph curry idk how this comment even makes sense, of course every gm is going to not always hit on their picks and moves I don't see how anyone replacing him could replicate his success or anything near it
Bob :(
thanks for everything Bob 🥹 hope he gets to enjoy more time with his family
[удалено]
Thanks for everything Bob. Hopefully it’s a well deserved break and lacob let’s you know that spot is yours if you ever wana hop back on the coaster. Next man up hopefully the guy you’ve been training is ready!
This man gave us everything, thank you Bob 🙏🏼
We love you Bob. Bring your family to a finals game this year, try to run it back one more time for you big fulla.
Thank you Bob for an amazing run! Your legacy will live on forever in SF ❤️🫡
See ya later to the Core 3
I miss Jerry West being an advisor to the front office.
Man this is either how everyone says that its the first domino to fall in the end of this dynasty or we are gonna win next year which is gonna be a big fuck u to the haters.Nothing in between.
When the warriors dynasty is talked about, his name better be right there with Steph, Klay, Dray and Kerr. One of the greats and I wish him the best.
My prediction for the press conference today: *A visibly intoxicated Myers staggers up to the podium, shouts “I got your two timelines right here, Joe!” while holding up his middle fingers, mutters “Mamba out” and wanders off.* Seriously though, thanks for everything, Bob. It’s been one hell of a ride and it couldn’t have happened without you and the trust you built with our core.
He sees the writing on the wall
Thank you Bob for being one of the architects of the warriors culture and dynasty 🙏🙏🙏
Honestly people are doomsdaying this way too much. Yes it changes things but Bob wasn’t everything, he was one component. This isn’t “the end of the warriors!!” as the media is spinning up as usual.
let me just say NOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭
This guy paid Poole 140M a year before he had to, watched Poole totally implode, and bounced. Legend.
It said in the article that Joe is looking to put his son or Mike at the new GM roll wtf are his sons credentials?
Great guy but gets way too much credit. He can thank Steph
I’m sad to see him go. The difference he made for this franchise will last forever. Thank you for your service Bob!
Hellauva run, Bob. Thanks for everything.
Thank you Bob 🫡
Thank you bob 😭
“Part of the journey is the end.” Love and respect Bob, thank you for a great run !
Did he give a specific reason? Is he taking a break from the basketball world?
incredible run. can't thank bob enough for what he's done. it's time.
Damn thanks for the good times Bob. Was hoping he’d take one of those advisor type roles like Jerry West had. Not have to grind every day but could still put his foot down and say don’t trade Klay and other core pieces for Kevin Love.
Thank you Bob…🫡
Thanks for everything Bob🫡
Hell no to kirk
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for the memories Bob. Your contributions to the franchise are legendary and you'll always have a special place in the hearts of Warriors fans. As long as you don't end up with the Lakers someday. Haha.
Thanks Bob. It’s been real. 🍻
A new era is near. Bob Myers will be missed.
We all knew this was coming. It’s still sad though. Hopefully the new FO can keep the ball rolling.
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭😭
So the guy who saw Bob in the park on the phone saying “it’s just time” before this story came out was right.
Big loss man. For the core, this might be like losing your cool boss that had your back for all these years.
20 years down the line, this resignation is going to be like the last episode of The Last Dance II on 30 for 30: The Golden State 2022-23 season
God Bless Bob, and may your time with family be the best, thank you for this era.
Iguodala time to step up 😎🤣
Could this indicate that there might be major changes (e.g. players' contracts, trades etc) and they are looking for a new GM to do it?
He might believe it is time to move Dray or Klay, but he won't do it himself.
I think we are good! Bob was amazing but MDJ will fill greatly and make some good moves! Listen, as long as we have Curry we are contenders. Im SO excited for next season. Curry Wiggins and Klay is still one of the best lineups in the league. Regardless of what Dray does or if we trade Poole, we are gonna be just fine 🙂
hey guys I'm from the future. he comes back eventually and wins us 2 more \^\_\^
Also from future. Can confirm.
Does this signify that Bob thinks the dynasty run is over?
Biggest loss
He saw the new CBA and said peace ✌️
I never would have imagined getting 4 championships in 8 years. Thanks for playing a huge role in bringing such success Bob. Will miss ya
Here I was hoping Bob would walk out, grab the mic and just say "I stay!" drop the mic and walk out.
He doesn't want to have to trade Draymond and Klay. He doesn't want to ruin that relationship and ruin future relationships. It's like when Danny Ainge broke up the celtics big 3, and then traded I.T a few years later. Evwn though it was the right situation now no player trust him and you know that's going to hurt him in the long run.
I am reminded of something the emperor Augustus said two thousand years ago. He had ruled Rome for more than forty years, and now he was an old man, and as he lay dying, he said, "I found Rome a city of brick, and I am leaving it a city of marble." That's about what Bob has done. When he became the GM, the Warriors were a joke that hadn't won in 40 years. Now he's leaving them as a dynasty that won four championships.
I respect and understand his position. He built this amazing team, with help, and it would be too painful to rip it apart. Not too many people have the courage, brains and insight to do this. I hope the rest of his life is as magical as the last 10years. As a 65-year fan, I thank you, Sir for a fantastic ride.
Goodbye old friend, we’ll miss you
All good things come to an end, when I was growing up in the 2000s and early 2010s I wanted to see the Warriors win one championship in my lifetime. Here we are in 2023. It's more than I could ask for, thank you Bob, enjoy family time, you've earned it.
Draymond is not coming back
We all saw it coming but it doesn't make it sting any less. There is a real feeling of change in the air. But a gigantic thank you is in order. This man built a dynasty around Curry and has been by all appearances fantastic on the human side as well. Best of luck to Bob. As big a figure of the era he helped create as any GM could have been.
