Curry posted an Instagram story where he left a short message to Myers, followed by a few pictures of them together.

"Before the trophies and the memories over this run, I remember I told you, 'You better get it right!' And you did," Curry wrote. "The GM role was great, and you did your thing, but forever grateful for you as a friend forever."

"Changed each other's lives! Enjoy the next chapter, my guy. Thank you, Bob!" Curry added.

Myers' journey with the Warriors began in 2011 when he joined as an assistant GM before being promoted to GM in 2012.

Since then, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the team through intelligent draft choices, strategic trades, and impactful signings, creating one of the most dominant teams in recent memory.

Under Myers' leadership, the Warriors experienced tremendous success, capturing four NBA championships in the span of eight years. However, their recent campaign came to an end in the Western Conference semifinals with a defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Throughout Myers' 11-year tenure as GM, the team reached the NBA Finals on six occasions, falling short to Toronto in 2019 and Cleveland in 2016.

With Myers leaving his post, Warriors owner Joe Lacob is expected to explore expanded roles for his son, Kirk, who currently serves as an executive vice president of basketball operations, as well as Mike Dunleavy Jr., the VP of basketball operations.

Meanwhile, the franchise finds itself at a crucial juncture, facing the challenge of managing a significant payroll and luxury tax that could potentially reach a historic $500 million in the 2023-2024 season.
