Steph Curry’s influence on Myers and the Warriors’ management choices

In an ESPN episode, former Warriors owner Bob Myers disclosed that he would confer with Steph Curry prior to implementing any significant measures concerning another elite player, in relation to James Harden’s continuing public spat with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Myers went on to say that his top goal was to ensure that Curry was pleased, which meant that he needed to have the star point guard’s consent before making any big squad changes.

The former executive with the Warriors also gave a very specific instance of one of these conversations with Curry, concentrating on his veteran teammate Draymond Green.

‘Steph, what is it that you want to do?’ I would then phone Curry. “We work better with Draymond,” he says. No, I’m not drawing comparisons between Draymond and what Rockets is doing at the moment, but Draymond has also made errors.”

In an ESPN episode, former Warriors owner Bob Myers disclosed that he would confer with Steph Curry prior to implementing any significant measures concerning another elite player, in relation to James Harden’s continuing public spat with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The former executive with the Warriors also gave a very specific instance of one of these conversations with Curry, concentrating on his veteran teammate Draymond Green.

“Steph Curry’s significance is at the top of that building; my was this,” Myers said. When I approached him, I would say, ‘Listen, whatever do you want?’ It makes no difference if he’s unhappy.

The discussion comes to an end there. Draymond Green claimed that I consistently made mistakes. I would go make a call to Draymond and ask him what went wrong. How come you said that? I’ve experienced these things.”

‘Steph, what is it that you intend to do?’ I would then phone Curry. “We work better with Draymond,” he says. No, I’m not drawing comparisons between Draymond and what Harden does at the moment, but Draymond has also made errors.”

For the initial time, there have been reports of at least some little conflict among the closest members of the squad that advanced to the NBA Finals five times in a row during the past ten years. Point guard Steph Curry, the public face of the team, is where the conflict starts.

To put it briefly, Curry wants Bob Myers, president of basketball operations, and Joe Lacob, owner of the Warriors, to go all in on win-now strategies, which most likely entail dealing some of the team’s young players for a proven player. But, Lacob and Myers have adopted a longer perspective—at least thus far.

On Wednesday, November 3, Anthony Slater of The Athletic and Michael Scotto of HoopsHype podcast spoke about the conflict that exists between Curry and the Dubs’ administration about player personnel selections.

However, the Warriors earned the sixth seed this year. In the first round, they played well against third-seeded Sacramento, but they couldn’t overcome the seventh-seeded Lakers, who possessed LeBron James, Anthony Davis, plus a completely redesigned squad.

Bob Myers ended one of the most productive runs any NBA executive leader has ever had last month when he revealed he was leaving his position as president and GM of the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors announced on Friday that Mike Dunleavy Jr., the executive vice president for basketball operations who had worked under Myers, would take over as general manager. Additionally, Kirk Lacob, the owner Joe Lacob’s son, will be given more decision-making authority.

This is the ideal moment to reflect on Myers’ tenure with the Golden State Warriors. As a result, the top five decisions Myers took to establish a dynasty are listed below.

Who will take Bob Myers’ place as the California Warriors’ primary decision-maker is still up in the air.

Even though he’s set to leave the team, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Kirk Lacob, and other key front office players of the Dubs are undoubtedly fortunate to be embarking on their post-Myers lives with Stephen Curry in blue and gold.

Shortly before word of Curry’s departure went viral on Tuesday morning, Myers had a phone conversation with him.

Myers, fighting away tears on the Chase Center platform, waxed eloquent about how fortunate he was to have worked with Golden State’s superstar over more than a decade, after noting that Curry voiced disappointment in his decision.
