Barkley Jabs Former Warriors GM Amid Team's Struggles

Bob Myers expresses regret over past draft decision as Warriors' performance declines

Charles Barkley, during the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament, made a jab at former Warriors general manager Bob Myers, saying he deserves credit for 'jumping off the Titanic before it sunk', referring to the Warriors' current struggles.
Myers, who worked in the Warriors front office for 12 years, stepped down this past spring after being named the league's Executive of the Year on two separate occasions.
The Warriors, once a dominant force in the NBA with four championships in an eight-year span, are now struggling and sit near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
Barkley's comment implies that more changes in the Warriors' management may be imminent.
Myers expressed regret over choosing James Wiseman instead of Tyrese Haliburton in the 2020 NBA Draft, as Haliburton is now emerging as one of the best players in the NBA.
