QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Joe Lacob on Bob Myers' departure: "I have four kids. I’ve said this before, I actually consider Bob my fifth. It’s really hard to see your son – because what I kinda feel like this is – leave and go off and do something else… I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I understand it because I don't... It's not me to do that. I am so competitive. I know he is to. It's a really hard thing for me to understand why… Who knows, maybe he'll be back with us at some point in the future. I'm not going to give up that easily.” But, Lacob adds, he just wants Bob to be happy. (Alex Espinoza, Madeline Kenney, Dalton Johnson)
• On giving credit to Bob Myers for the ability to clear the money necessary to sign Andre Iguodala and the idea and execution of going after and ultimately signing Kevin Durant in 2016. (John Dickinson)
• On if he’s made a decision on who will replace Myers, and on taking their time: “a succession plan for Bob Myers yet: “I’m not gonna say what we’re doing yet because I don’t know what we’re doing yet. … It’s not gonna be something we rush into… I’m gonna work Bob for every last day until June 30th.” (Alex Espinoza, Shayna Rubin)
• On the new CBA: “We're going to win no matter what, I don't care what the rules are. We're going to figure out a way to do it.” (Dalton Johnson, Kendra Andrews)
• On the current roster: they’re proud of their “bench strength” and that they’re “constantly training for situations like this.” (Madeline Kenney)
• “There is no point in doing this if you're not trying to win the championship. No point.” (KNBR)
• On if Bob Myers (under contract until 6/30) would run draft in June 22: “I don’t think we’ve even got to the level of what’s gonna happen next. I guess he’s employed theoretically until the June 30, so the draft falls within there.” Myers added he could/would be involved in supporting role. (Alex Espinoza)
