SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bob Myers is departing as president of basketball operations and general manager of the Golden State Warriors after building a championship team that captured four titles in an eight-year span. One of the most successful GMs over the past decade in any sport, Myers’ contract was set to expire in late June. There has been speculation for months about his future, given the sides had yet to reach agreement on an extension or a new deal. A team spokesman confirmed the departure Tuesday. Myers became GM in 2012 and constructed the roster that won the 2015 championship for the Warriors’ first title in 40 years. They reached five straight NBA Finals from 2015-19.
