Sources: The #Commanders are hiring one of the best in sports, luring 2-time NBA Executive of the Year Bob Myers to the NFL to help run their franchise. Bombshell. A 4-time NBA champ, Myers built the #Warriors dynasty before stepping down to work in TV. Now he lands in the NFL.

What the fuck?
Wishing him the best, I guess.
He got promoted from Warrior to Commander
wat.
If he turns that franchise into a winner, the man truly will be a genius
I thought he wanted to take a break. Guess Chuck was right. After he ended up creating a mess at GSW he jump before titanic goes down.
Lol and Wizard fans thought he was coming to fix their team
And Bob said he wanted family time…dude has a podcast, works for espn and now in the NFL.
Guys he’s not their new GM. He’s been hired as part of the advisory committee to find a new head coach
Ironic that the Commanders will have the #2 pick in the upcoming draft as well.
Who’s the Wiseman of this draft class?
Sounds like it’s more associated to a consulting/executive search type of role.
“Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris has hired two prominent executives — former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers and former Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman — to assist his ownership group with searches for a new head of football operations and head coach, team officials told ESPN.”
He built the warriors? Hope Washington doesn’t go over his draft picks..
This tweet is misleading. He’s not actually their new GM, just helping in their search for a new GM and coach.
Sounds like a consulting gig…
Created lot of the problems we have currently and then ran away. Extremely overrated as a GM. I have more confidence in MDJ, especially with him picking TDJ and Podz.
Myers didn’t build shit. Overrated GM that got everything handed to him.
Good luck. Get all the big names together to try to get Harbaugh.
Lmaoooo he really saw that young core and DIPPED

This seems to be a temp gig where he is on an advisory committee that helps Washington find a GM and head coach. I bet it’s just zoom meetings for a few weeks until they do their hires. Magic Johnson is on this committee. I seriously doubt this is a full time job.
It’s all remote work
terrible contracts, blown lottery picks, awful trades/non-trades
despite all that, i would still respected Myers if he didn’t dip and went down with the ship
instead he created a mess and left it to someone else to clean up
he really was lightyears ahead
He’s hired to be on an advisory committee.
What a stupid clickbait title.
This is wild. I guess he really didn’t want to not extend Kerr, Draymond and Klay.
….*what?*
Left MDJ to clean all the mess
Great person for the job. He has a good eye.
He’s helping them hire someone to run football operations. He’s a consultant
Sinking ship? Exit, stage left!
