Golden State Warriors President of Basketball Operations / General Manager Bob Myers will step down from his role at the conclusion of his contract, he announced today.
Myers, who has served as general manager of the Warriors for the past 11 seasons (seven with the added title of president of basketball operations), assembled a roster that captured four NBA titles (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022) in an eight-year span and made six NBA Finals appearances, including five straight from 2015-2019, along with setting an NBA record with 73 wins during the 2015-16 regular season.
Myers earned the NBA Executive of the Year award in both 2014-15 and 2016-17 and is the only executive in Warriors history to earn the award multiple times and one of only five in league history to earn the honor twice in a span of three seasons.
Myers’ 11-season tenure as general manager (2012-23) equals the longest stretch by a lead basketball executive in franchise history, matching Eddie Gottlieb (1952-63) and Bob Feerick (1963-74).
During his tenure as general manager the Warriors have enjoyed their most successful stretch in franchise history, posting a .653 regular season winning percentage (571-304) over the last 11 seasons, the best record in the NBA over that stretch. The Warriors earned a franchise-record seven-straight trips to the NBA Playoffs (2013-2019), surpassing the previous record of six, after having qualified for the postseason just once in the previous 18 years.
Throughout Myers’ tenure, the Warriors have retained many of their top draft picks, signing Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Kevon Looney and Jordan Poole to contract extensions. Additionally, Myers acquired 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala via trade in 2013, signed 2017 & 2018 NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant in 2016, and acquired Andrew Wiggins via trade in 2020.
Besides acquiring and retaining key players, Myers hired Head Coach Steve Kerr on May 19, 2014. Kerr was named the NBA’s Coach of the Year in 2014-15 and ranks second in franchise history with 473 regular season wins (trailing only Al Attles) to go along with a franchise-record 99 postseason victories.
Myers originally joined the Warriors on April 14, 2011, as assistant general manager/vice president of basketball operations, where he worked under then-General Manager Larry Riley before being promoted to general manager on April 24, 2012.

thanks bob 😭🤞🏽
thank you bob<3
We be fine we have the best owner in all sports , thanks bob all you have done , some advice don’t try to be GM somewhere else and try to compete with joe lacob because you lose just advise you can if you want but won’t be wise why lacob is the best owner period no other owner like him
Bob is my fav GM in the NBA. He showed how we should handle ourselves and our relationships with other ppl. Top class person. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
If Kuminga plays 20 min a night next year they win the title if he rides the bench they lose again. He is that good so Kerr has to get past his issue with him he is a star in the making. Keep the team together for 3 more years at least
Sad to see you leaving Warriors but I wish you all the best.
Owner are like Jerry Jones. They want the credit. Can you imagine the demand for this guy?
🙁
Thank you Bob 🙏🏻😞 were going to miss you. Warrior for life 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You were a great GM for the Warriors, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May much more success be unto you!!!! I love you, Mr. Bob Myers "Iconic GM Legend."
What a legend! Thankyou for making this organization on the map and into the history books! We will miss you Bob.
Curry, Thomson and Green fell into his lap. The others could have been added by anyone in that job. Meh, move on; the Warriors will be fine.
Myers is simply abondoning the ship that he built before it sinks.
The Warriors is an expensive old non winning team at this point.
Myers know this, and in the business side of things, it is time to abondon a sinking ship.
That's all this is about.
The ship is sinking
The team is old, expensive and can't win anymore
It's time to jump and abondon the ship before it totally sinks to the bottom of the Bay Area.
In short, THE DYNASTY IS OVER 😂😂😂😂😂😂
THEY ARE OLD, EXPENSIVE AND THEIR WINNING DAYS ARE OVER !!!!
Iove warriors let's go warriors🎉
Good🎉
Bob knows it will be a tough decision about Dray, Klay and Poole’s contract…. The problem in this season was Kerr. We have players but he don’t use them….. I don’t know why we draft Baldwin with that high draft but Kerr wasted his talent and money by keeping him on the bench. Even Kuminga. He should let those guys rotate with the starters. Including Jerome, Moore and other guys. Kerr CANNOT keep putting Klay and Wigs to guard Lebrick. He is too tall for them. Kuminga and Baldwin are the perfect hight to defend Lebrick…. Come back strong and try use all players……
It's go warriors
His passion and dedication are evident in every word he speaks. He has achieved remarkable feats in his career, surpassing many expectations. It is rare for a general manager to receive such attention and recognition when they step down from their role.
well look like Draymond outta there lol
Bob Myers: I commend you for being TRANSPARENT. If you can't give it your all then you shouldn't be doing it. I love that mentality. You were definitely a reason for Golden States' success. I wish you the best on your future endeavors! Not only do you have to PURSUE something that you are passionate about, but you also have to know when it's time to stop ❤️💙💚
What a guy! Thanks for everything! DON'T join another bbal org tho 😀
💛💙GSW

Bummer that Bob Myers’s is stepping down from our Beloved Warriors 🎉😅 Thank you Bob and God bless
UNTIMELY!!!
So, exciting game o
Thanks Sir Bob, serving that number of years manifested you as a 'Warrior" of the game
Bob Myers, is a genius he doesn’t want to betray Warriors owners. If Warriors went to Finals maybe he stayed. Curry $52 million a year, Klay $ 43 million, Green $27 million, Poole 35 million ( he’s a dud) Green & Klay wanted super contract ( these 2 worth $5-10 million) Warriors should traded: Green, Klay, Poole, Kuminga, Wiggins….
Thank you Bob. Without you, we would probably not ever have one of the greatest dynasties in basketball. You will definitely be missed.
😢 Tears Are Flowing Now!!! No Words. #BobMyersWeWillMissYou❤😢❤
Thank you Bob…it’s been a wonderful journey with you! May good fortune follow you 😊
The key to winning is leadership and the key to leadership is looking out for all of the men under your command. And on a basketball team it’s also looking out for all of your teammates.
