Few executives in professional sports command the level of respect and trust that Bob Myers has earned. A proven architect of success, Myers built a dynasty with the Golden State Warriors, helping shape a championship culture that secured four NBA titles. Now, after stepping away from the Warriors’ front office, his name continues to carry weight in NBA circles—and beyond.
In the near future, don’t be surprised if Myers emerges as a key advisor for teams looking to establish or re-establish themselves among the league’s elite. The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets are among the organizations that have been linked to him, I’m told and for good reason. His blend of executive acumen, player relationships and championship experience makes him an attractive asset to any franchise seeking stability and strategic vision.
A Unique Portfolio of Success
What sets Myers apart from many of his contemporaries is his ability to blend business savvy with a deep understanding of player dynamics. As Golden State’s general manager, he helped orchestrate the acquisitions of Kevin Durant and Andrew Wiggins, drafted key players like Jordan Poole, and maintained strong relationships with stars like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. His ability to manage egos, foster continuity, and make difficult yet forward-thinking decisions helped cement the Warriors as a model franchise.
But Myers’ expertise isn’t limited to the NBA. Since leaving Golden State, he’s brought his leadership and team-building skills to the NFL’s Washington Commanders, helping reshape the organization under new ownership. This crossover success only reinforces his reputation as a strategic mind capable of elevating any team, regardless of sport.
A Valuable Presence in the NBA Landscape
With franchises like the 76ers and Nets looking for an edge, Myers’ presence as a consultant or advisor could prove invaluable. Philadelphia is in a pivotal phase, balancing title aspirations around reigning MVP Joel Embiid while navigating future roster decisions. Brooklyn, on the other hand, is searching for a clear direction in the post-Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era. Myers’ insights into roster construction, player development, and front-office stability could be instrumental for either organization.
Even if he doesn’t take on a full-time executive role, Myers’ influence is undeniable. Teams across the league respect his perspective, and his track record speaks for itself. Whether it’s through consulting, advising, or an eventual return to a front-office position, Myers remains one of the most trusted names in NBA circles.
Expect his name to surface often as teams look for a steady hand to guide them through the complexities of building a championship contender.
