The Philadelphia 76ers are aggressively pursuing Bob Myers, the architect behind the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty, for a front-office role, according to NBA insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson. Myers, who helped deliver four championships to the Warriors, is seen as the missing piece to elevate the Sixers’ title aspirations.
Myers’ track record speaks for itself. As Golden State’s general manager, he drafted and signed key players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, while orchestrating blockbuster moves for Kevin Durant and Andrew Wiggins. His ability to balance roster construction with team chemistry made the Warriors a model franchise.
Twice named NBA Executive of the Year, Myers’ leadership transformed Golden State into a powerhouse. His success in building a championship culture has made him a coveted figure in league circles, with the 76ers now leading the charge to bring him to Philadelphia.
The Sixers, currently 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 20-38 record, are at a critical juncture. Philadelphia is looking to Myers to help navigate crucial roster decisions and instill a winning mindset.
Myers stepped down as Warriors president and general manager in May 2023, transitioning to a media role with ESPN. However, his leadership skills remain in high demand. In January 2024, he joined the NFL’s Washington Commanders as an advisor.
While other teams, including the Brooklyn Nets, have expressed interest in Myers, the 76ers are reportedly making the strongest push to secure his services. His championship pedigree and ability to build cohesive teams align perfectly with Philadelphia’s goals.
