Beijing time on January 26th, reports from TA said that well-informed sources revealed that more and more people in the industry believe that Warriors general manager Bob Myers will leave the team this summer.
Myers’ current contract expires in July. At present, the negotiations between Myers and the Warriors are at a standstill, and the core of the potential disagreement between the two parties is salary. According to sources, Miles’ current salary ranks between 6 and 8 among league executives, and he thinks he should be one of the highest.
It is reported that if Miles leaves the Warriors, it will make Stephen Curry uneasy because the two have a good relationship. Myers came to the Warriors in 2011, initially as an assistant general manager, before being promoted to general manager in 2012. In other words, Miles and Curry have worked together for 12 years.
If Miles decides to leave, he will be the most sought-after executive in the free market. The Wizards, Suns and Knicks are all interested in him, and the Clippers may become the focus of these teams because they have the most Rich owner Steve Ballmer.
There are also rumors that Miles may seek development opportunities outside of basketball.
The view among Warriors insiders is that since executive salaries don’t count toward the luxury tax, if there’s a deadline and an amount that must match to keep Myers, Warriors owner Lacob will do whatever it takes to keep him.
With the Warriors’ ever-increasing luxury tax and ever-rising salary numbers creating painful personnel decisions that could involve choosing to part ways with Draymond Green or Klay Thompson, Myers wouldn’t mind the prospect of making that decision. Excited, especially considering he’s going to have to break the news to Curry.
Sources point out that much remains to be done before a decision can be made on Miles’ future. Simply put, the Warriors’ record may end up being the deciding factor. (jim)Return to Sohu to see more
