Warriors prioritize keeping championship roster intact

Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers knows from experience — keeping a championship roster intact is nearly impossible.

Even so, Myers and head coach Steve Kerr emerged from their latest NBA title parade and draft prep knowing the clock is ticking for the franchise to reach agreements with pending free agents.

“Free agency, unrestricted especially … it is in our control to a certain extent, but in some ways, it’s not,” Myers said. “I hope that our players will give us a chance to respond to an offer. They don’t have to. They don’t owe it to us. But that’s what you get if you win and you create a good environment. You might get a chance to match something.
