Warriors rumors: Lakers could be an intriguing option for Bob Myers if they come calling

Bob Myers has had a ton of success running the Golden State Warriors, but could he bolt for the Los Angeles Lakers. It might not be crazy.

The sudden resignation of Los Angeles Lakers president Magic Johnson has now added another item to the long agenda of things needed to address this offseason. However, it could be the Golden State Warriors that pay the price of this combustion in the Lakers' front office, as they could soon narrow the sights on president Bob Myers to take their vacant spot, according to Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic.

Myers, who started with the Warriors in April 2011 as an assistant general manager before getting the promotion to GM a year later and then later becoming president, has had a smooth transition from being a player agent to joining the executive ranks:

If there is one team that could make Myers consider leaving the Warriors dynasty, it would be the Lakers. He’s of Danville origins, but Myers is definitely Los Angeles verified. He went to UCLA, where he played basketball and helped with the school’s long search for a new men’s basketball coach, which ended with Mick Cronin’s introduction on Tuesday with Myers in attendance. He got his law degree in Los Angeles while working his way up the ranks of Los Angeles-based Wasserman Media Group. He has a good relationship with Kobe Bryant, the Mr. Laker of this era, whom Myers worked with during his agent days.

Thompson isn't the only one to point out this move, as Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times has also circled his name as one of the candidates the Lakers will likely look at once they start their search.

Rumor has it that current Lakers GM Rob Pelinka will stay in the organization and could potentially see his role increase over time, which could make a partnership between the two former agents plausible.

However, Pelinka hasn't had the success that Myers has found with a championship-laden team, failing to put a strong team together despite landing the biggest free agent in the game in LeBron James.

Myers has earned the Executive of the Year award in 2015 and 2017, and could be in line for a third after acquiring DeMarcus Cousins, who is poised for his first-ever playoff run.
