Joe Lacob - Warriors haven't tabbed Bob Myers' replacement yet - ESPN
ESPN SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob couldn't fathom why Bob Myers -- his general manager and president for the last 12 years -- would decide to step down.
"I'm not going to sit here and tell you I understand it because I don't," Lacob said as he sat adjacent to Myers in a news conference at Chase Center Tuesday.
It had been just about four hours since Myers told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Myers would be leaving his position when his contract expires at the end of June.
"But it's really not for me to understand why. I just want him to be happy" Lacob continued.

Myers' decision took a lot of factors into account, including wanting to spend more time with his family. He squashed the notion that it was because of the Warriors' turbulent and mediocre season.
