BREAKING: Legendary Former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers—Now advisor for the NFL’s Washington Commanders—Delivered a Stunning Message Aimed Directly to current Golden State Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Concerning….

In a cross-sport twist that has both NBA and NFL insiders buzzing, former Golden State Warriors General Manager Bob Myers, now serving as a strategic advisor for the NFL’s Washington Commanders, has delivered a pointed and unexpected message aimed at his successor, current Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Speaking at a leadership summit in Washington, D.C., Myers was asked about team-building philosophies across different sports. But what started as a general reflection quickly turned personal — and directly referenced the current state of the franchise he helped turn into a dynasty.

“Building a dynasty is hard. Sustaining one is even harder. The key is knowing when to evolve — and when to respect what worked,” Myers said. “You don’t just inherit culture. You protect it. You earn it. That’s something I hope Golden State still understands.”

Subtle Jab or Direct Criticism?

While Myers didn’t mention Mike Dunleavy by name, the implication was unmistakable. Since taking over in 2023, Dunleavy has overseen a Warriors roster in transition — parting ways with veterans, experimenting with new rotations, and dealing with contract uncertainty surrounding Klay Thompson and the twilight of Stephen Curry’s career.

Myers, the architect behind the Warriors’ four NBA titles in eight years, was known for balancing superstar egos, managing cap gymnastics, and keeping the championship core intact while finding gems like Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney.

“I didn’t stay just to make moves. I stayed to build something that would last,” Myers added. “There’s a difference between managing a roster and understanding a legacy.”

Golden State’s Quiet Response

The Warriors declined official comment, but sources close to the team suggest Myers’ remarks were “not appreciated” inside the front office.

A team insider, speaking anonymously, said:

“We respect Bob, but we’re focused on the future. Change was inevitable, and Mike [Dunleavy] has our full trust to guide that change.”

Mike Dunleavy Jr., who has maintained a relatively low public profile since taking over as GM, has not responded to Myers’ comments as of press time.

From NBA Champion to NFL Advisor

Myers’ move to the NFL world raised eyebrows when it was first announced, but he’s quickly found a role with the Washington Commanders, focusing on culture-building, leadership development, and front-office strategy.

Many around the league view him as a future president of an NFL or NBA team — or even a potential commissioner candidate one day.

“Sport is sport,” Myers said. “Whether it’s basketball or football, great teams are about trust, timing, and identity.”

Legacy vs. Innovation: A Growing Divide

Myers’ comments may highlight a growing philosophical divide between the old guard of Golden State’s dynasty era and the new leadership trying to modernize and prepare for life after Curry.

And with the Warriors facing a pivotal 2025 offseason full of contract decisions and looming luxury tax implications, the tension between preserving greatness and chasing reinvention is becoming harder to ignore.
