Bob Myers, the man who put together the Golden State Warriors ' all-conquering dynasty, could be set to leave the franchise this summer, and has reportedly set a deadline on his final decision.
After their playoff defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, the Warriors now find themselves at a crossroads with Draymond Green set to become a free agent, while needing to add younger players around superstar Steph Curry.
That might even include trading away Klay Thompson if it's a legitimate option, who, like Green, has a huge salary which is hurting their ability to make further moves to their roster.
But over the years, general manager Bob Myers has been able to do just that - make all the right moves to keep the key players around which has brought sustained periods of success.
He's been largely credited with putting together the 'Death Lineup' which saw the Warriors dominate the NBA, and has overseen their rebuild post-Kevin Durant. However, Myers could be set to leave the franchise with his contract expiring this summer and no extension yet agreed.
