Bob Myers, Golden State GM, hired with zero front office experience.

Yes he was an agent and had contract negotiation experience, but he had no experience with the talent evaluation side of things.


Seems to have worked out fine with Bob Myers as the GM of Golden State.


The list of GMs hired who didn't check off every box in terms of experience to do all the things a GM does is probably the majority of GMs.

So he had experience working with front offices just from the other side. He was familiar with how the CBA and cap operated to get his players the best deals he could.

Billups sat behind a desk and gave hot takes.

No shite. no candidate for any job anywhere is a perfect candidate, but I they at least have some experience and prerequisite skills/knowledge.

Agents have a ton of 'front office' experience, just from the other side. Agents need to know the CBA, which is the foundation of the job of GM.
