2.4KWarriors stand pat on draft night, Myers discusses FA options and team’s luxury tax stance
The 2014 NBA Draft was one of those rare times when the Warriors briefly became one of the most boring teams in the NBA. After an evening where fake laughter from the ESPN crew echoed off the walls of the Warriors practice gym, catered Mexican food left a lingering aroma that reminded the assembled media that nothing cures […]

Quest for picks: Warriors will probably barge into tonight’s draft, but how?
This will be my third consecutive year attending the Warriors media exdraftaganza, and for the second consecutive year the Warriors go into the draft without a single selection. So, why attend (besides the taco bar spread the Warriors so graciously provide)? Well, they’re almost certainly going to end up with a pick, just like they did […]

3.2K1Bill Simmons says Celtics are favorites to get Kevin Love, Celtics beat writers say Warriors have better shot
Bill Simmons — a known Celtics fan — thinks his favorite team will land Kevin Love. That’s in part because he has heard the Warriors aren’t interested in parting with their most valuable trade asset other than Stephen Curry. If TWolves trade Love, Celts are heavy favs to get him now. GS won’t discuss Klay T. + […]

Bob Myers talks about Kevin Love without mentioning Kevin Love
Bob Myers was an agent before he became the Golden State Warriors general manager, and he’s made a habit of charming media personalities and deftly playing the spin game on radio segments. In other words, everything he says is both palatable and calculated at the same time. In a recent interview with Gary Radnich and Larry Krueger on […]

3.5K6What Warriors think Kerr will bring that Jackson didn’t: Humility and assistant coaches with experience
The beginning of Tuesday’s press conference that introduced the new head coach of the Golden State Warriors was your standard Fitz-fest, a celebration of Steve Kerr’s basketball lineage. The main (only?) newsworthy component came from general manager Bob Myers (Joe Lacob didn’t take the stage today — he was seated in the front row, as you can see in […]

2.8K6Warriors’ coaching search is off to a rough start, but there are plenty of other fish in the sea
On the day Mark Jackson was fired, Bob Myers met with reporters and made it sound as if replacing their former head coach with someone better would be a piece of cake. “I would put this up there against any vacant job right now in the league as far as its attractiveness,” Myers said. The […]

3.1K20Mark Jackson goes on the sports talk radio offensive
Yesterday was Joe Lacob’s opportunity to explain the Warriors’ position, and he used over 3,000 words in doing so. The two quotes that stood out, at least to me: “This is Bob Myers’ decision. I have the final say, but (Myers) gets input from Jerry (West) as a consultant and advisor and from Kirk (Lacob) and […]

Warriors practice notes: Draymond upsets Jackson in 3-point tournament, Iguodala/Lee health updates
The atmosphere was noticeably light after the Golden State Warriors practiced on Thursday. That’s because the team got a chance to celebrate after Draymond Green knocked off Mark Jackson in the team’s three-point tournament. Everyone was ecstatic … except Jackson. “A lot of the guys weren’t too happy with the cockiness coach was bringing to […]

3.1K3Warriors look ready for season’s second half in win over Kings
Eighteen left. If the Warriors are going to win 50, this one needed to be automatic. The Warriors weren’t that efficient from a shooting standpoint in their first game back after a short vacation (for everyone besides Stephen Curry and Harrison Barnes), but wins in Sacramento are never easy. So the fact that this game […]

Myers dismisses Bass rumors, says Jackson and Bogut kerfuffle was “blown out of proportion”
Today Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers appeared as a guest on KNBR with Gary Radnich and Larry Krueger. I’m not sure if the interview was scheduled, but I’m going to go ahead and assume he decided to go on the record this morning to address the most intense press conference of all time featuring […]
