Bob Myers, who oversaw four NBA championships as the Golden State Warriors’ president and general manager, is stepping down from his role.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Myers declined offers to extend a contract expiring in June. The two-time Executive of the Year leaves the Warriors after 12 years.
“It’s just time,” he told Wojnarowski.

Myers helped mold Golden State into a dynasty that made six trips to the NBA Finals during his tenure. The Warriors drafted Klay Thompson and Draymond Green early in his stint and later morphed into a superteam by signing Kevin Durant.
The 48-year-old leaves at a pivotal time for the franchise. Following a second-round exit to the Los Angeles Lakers, they must decide on giving Green and Thompson long-term extensions that’d put them well over the luxury tax.
Per Wojnarowski, 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.”
Myers is scheduled to speak at a news conference Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
