Sources: Warriors and president of basketball operations Bob Myers have had no substantial contract extension talks in months and the sides are bracing for the likelihood that Myers could walk away from the franchise.
Both sides exchanged offers and counter-offers several months ago, and there has since been no traction on a new deal, league sources say. The Warriors have not yet presented an offer that has blown Myers away, but there’s also a growing sense that even a competitive market offer — near the top of the executive food chain — may not keep Myers with the franchise
Myers — the architect of four NBA championships over the past nine seasons — has received significant interest for lucrative positions with private equity funds and roles within other pro sports leagues, sources added. There’s a possibility that Myers could work in media after his contract expires in June. He dipped his toes into the podcast world this past year.
Myers is expected to formally announce the decision on his Warriors future in the coming weeks. That time could include some weighty conversations with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Steve Kerr — four franchise legends who have all been vocal in their desire to keep Myers, another organizational pillar, as the leading voice of the front office.
I'm just going to admit that Miami must be much better than I imagined. I don't watch a lot of NBA basketball other than when the Ws are playing, but I've got to get a look at what makes them so good.

On a side note, my little sis just won first place when it came to the 50 meter dash amongst 4th/5th graders in Northern California!! My brother was one of the best sprinters/high jumpers in California so she's carrying on the legacy!!
I love how all of Miami's role players (Struss, Vincent, Martin) hustle and play competent defense. Two stars can take you a long way when they're surrounded by those types of guys.
I don’t know why I would doubt Miami at all… they are going to hit 50% of their 3s, effectively hide Robinson on D, and win all the close random endings because #Himmy
If the Celtics steal this one, with Miami shooting almost 50% from 3 most of the game, it's a big win, even if it's at home. [EDIT: but they might not . . .]
2 for 2 on these semi's so far. Would love to see two sweeps or gentleman sweeps.
Woj says clippers GM is interviewing with other teams. Might that mean Ballmer is planning to throw the brinks truck at Bob?

Question: Where are we ranking Jimmy Butler in today's NBA?
Spo is a brilliant coach. I still have no freaking idea how this team is in the ECF.
I like Jimmy Butler more than anyone in the running.

Miami is unbelievable! You gotta love it.
Go heat!! What happened to Herro?

Heat beat the Celtics 123-116 and take a 1-0 series lead.
The Heat are inspiring as fuck lol. Can't wait for this series to inexplicably go to 7 games again. Butler really might be Jordan's son.
Tatum turned the ball over via travelling in two consecutive possessions.
If the Celtics steal this one, with Miami shooting almost 50% from 3 most of the game, it's a big win, even if it's at home. [EDIT: but they might not . . .]
