In a surprising turn of events, the Golden State Warriors’ General Manager Bob Myers is reportedly considering leaving the organization. However, this news has not been well received by the Warriors’ star players and the majority of the organization, who are eager to see him stay. Draymond Green, in particular, has expressed his strong desire for Myers to continue his tenure with the team.

During an episode of “The Draymond Green Show” podcast, Green responded to reports suggesting that Myers might walk away from the franchise. Green expressed his disappointment, stating, “That does suck because again, Bob is one of the guys I rode in with, that I’ve been on this journey with for 11 years and have all been plugging away each and every year trying to deliver championships.”

“Number one, most importantly, I built a friendship, a relationship with Bob Myers that even if he is gone, when I’m gone, both of us no longer here … that is a relationship that I have built that will last for the rest of my life. Someone I confide in, someone I trust. And so to know that may not be here, that sucks. That hurts, because I’ve appreciated going to work with him every day for the last 11 years and the things that he’s taught me,” he added.

Green emphasized the deep friendship and trust he has developed with Myers over the years, both on a personal and professional level. He praised Myers for holding him accountable not only as a basketball player but also as a man and a leader. Green highlighted the importance of having someone who is willing to provide honest feedback, even when it’s tough to hear.

“I think in life we all need people who hold us accountable and he holds me accountable at a totally different standard,” Green added. “He won’t hold me accountable (like) ‘Oh, I’m the general manager of the team’ … that’s trash. He holds me accountable as a man, he holds me accountable as a leader, he holds me accountable from a friendship standpoint. And I couldn’t be more thankful. It is so important in life to have friends who are willing to hold you accountable that are willing to tell you that your s–t stinks,” Green concluded.

Myers’ role within the Warriors’ organization extended beyond his duties as a general manager. Green described him as a parental figure, someone who worked side by side with the players, tackling challenges together.

As the reports circulate about Myers’ potential departure, the general manager himself remains torn about his decision. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Myers is taking time to weigh his options and plans to reach a conclusion in the coming weeks. The Warriors have reportedly offered Myers a contract that would make him the highest-paid GM in the NBA, according to C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The Warriors organization is still optimistic that a solution can be found to keep their esteemed general manager, even though no information has been provided regarding the likelihood of Myers’ decision. The contribution Myers has made to the team’s accomplishments and the close relationships he developed with players like Green highlights the significance of his continued presence with the team.

All eyes are on Bob Myers and the future of the Golden State Warriors as the decision deadline draws near. The decision of whether Myers will decide to stay or look for new opportunities elsewhere is highly anticipated by fans, players, and staff. His choice will likely have an impact on how the Warriors’ future develops.
